Young & Sober: Stories from AA Grapevine (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780933685925)

From Grapevine, the international journal of Alcoholics Anonymous, inspiring stories by AA members who achieved sobriety in their teens, 20s and 30s.

What's it like to stop drinking at an early age? You'll find out in this collection of Grapevine stories about the joys and challenges of being young and sober. Written by members who got sober as young as 14, these fresh, original and sometimes startling stories are about growing up in AA, finding ways to connect when feeling different and learning how to live a sober life joyously.

From the young alcoholic for whom drinking once represented "the relief I'd been looking for," to the college graduate who feels "a part of something for the first time," when introduced to the AA community, this book speaks to the growing number of young people who have found a sense of belonging and hope in AA.

An instructive and inspiring read for family, counselors and healthcare providers alike, Young & Sober beautifully captures the experience of what it's like for a young person to live with addiction.
