But he also loved to drink. \u003ci\u003eDrunkard\u003c\/i\u003e is an unflinchingly honest account of one man's descent into alcoholism and his ambivalent struggle to embrace sobriety. Sentenced to an outpatient rehab program, Steinberg discovers that twenty-eight days of therapy cannot reverse the toll taken by decades of hard drinking. As Steinberg claws his way through recovery, grieves the loss of the drink, and tries to shore up his faltering marriage, he is confronted by the greatest test he has ever faced, and finds himself in the process. Steinberg's gripping memoir is a frank and often painfully funny account of the stark-yet-common realities of a disease that affects millions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Neil Steinberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0452295432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780452295438\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Plume Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.04h x 5.32w x 0.62d","brand":"Neil Steinberg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46292886585599,"sku":"9780452295438","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_42a09eef-cabc-411c-8760-9c2d3f0e0692.jpg?v=1730210459","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/drunkard-neil-steinberg-9780452295438","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
