In Our Own Words: Stories of Young Aa's in Recovery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780933685642)

Honest personal accounts by young AA members of what it's like to get sober at an early age and about the joys and challenges that lie ahead in sobriety.

This collection of personal stories from AA Grapevine focuses on the challenges faced by alcoholics who are young in years--as well as the life-changing sober joys that await them. You'll discover frank accounts of drinking in the lives of young adults, how they managed to get and stay sober, the impact that practicing the principles of AA has had on their lives, and the challenges and rewards of finally learning to live and to love, one day at a time.

An essential read if you're young and sober--or thinking about getting sober--this book shows how successful early sobriety can be. As one contributor writes: "To all the young people out there who are unsure, I want to say, 'Keep coming back, no matter what. Enjoy the gift of sobriety and try to pass it on.'"
