If your life appears to be royally f--ked from your drinking, it probably is. But the good news is that Maree MacLean's book is a call to action, not a death sentence.

Service to other is a chance for us to exercise our own personal demons.

As a result, Buddy entered a cycle of recovery and relapse for over six years.

Buddy tried the 12-step recovery process but found surrendering to a “power greater than ourselves” undefinable and even unattainable.

Works of Paul Chek inspired me to write this book. I hope to show listeners that there is a purpose to life, and that it is the lessons we are learning in our everyday lives that give our life this purpose. I also feel there is something happening to the planet at this time, and we are privileged to be here. We are being guided and helped in many ways, which have not previously been open to us. As more and more people take an interest in matters which are "not of this world", the purposes of our true existence will come more into focus.

To recovering '80s kid Amy Liz Harrison, getting sober and giving birth were shockingly similar. And she's uniquely qualified to know since she's been sober for over a decade and has given birth to eight children (nope, this sentence has no typos). Depression, isolation, boredom and a devastating crisis of faith led to extra glasses (or bottles) of wine at the end of the day. Which eventually led to being led away from her kids in handcuffs. Ten years of sobriety and four more babies later, Harrison realized that giving birth and getting sober were kinda sorta the same.
