How Alcoholics Anonymous Failed Me
Marianne Gilliam
How Alcoholics Anonymous Failed Me - HarperCollins Publishers - 304 pages
If AA is so effective, why do 14 million Americans struggle with alcoholism? Why does the rate of relapse from AA hover around 70 percent? In this first-person account of her fourteen years as a drunk, thirty-three-year-old Marianne Gilliam comes to the conclusion that AA is a fundamentally flawed program. Refusing to accept the idea that alcoholism is a "disease, " that she and other drinkers are "powerless, " and that twelve-step meetings are the answer, Marianne Gilliam found her own path to sobriety in meaningful, love-based approach to a life founded on her own self-worth.
