Self-Help, Substance Abuse, Reference, Quotations 

Based on unprecedented research by Dr. Gene Mason, himself recovering from addictions, SOS turns quotes from AA/NA meetings into a tool to help recovering people, co-dependents, and treatment professionals. From suicidal thoughts to elations of family reunions; from humorous recounting of regrettable acts while intoxicated to somber accountings of personal losses, these quotes depict the heroic struggles of recovering people. "He's a black man. I'm a white man. Big deal. We're both drunks and addicts. We're the best of friends." "The first time I spoke I said, 'My name is Jimand I'm an alcoholic. I hate beinghere.' Two people patted me on the back and said, 'It was great to hear from you." "I planned my meetings around the TV Guide, and I wondered why I couldn't get the program." 'This brings life to the Twelve Step Program for anyone who wants to experience its power-Great 'bloopers' section; in fact I loved the humor all the way through!'
