Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I drank when I was happy, anxious, bored, and depressed. I would raid my parents’ liquor cabinet the year my father was dying. I’d made the promise on a Sunday the previous July, in the midst of a pounding hangover. #2 I made a promise to my mother that I would cut down on drinking. I didn’t keep that promise for several years, but I did eventually go to Alcoholics Anonymous. #3 I loved the way alcohol made me feel, and I loved its special ability to deflect my attention away from my own awareness of self and onto something else. I loved the sounds of drink, and the rituals. I loved everything about it, except for the fact that it became my central relationship, my obsession, and eventually my crutch. #4 I was relieved to see Elaine that way. I was not that bad. I had lots of rules, and I never drank in the morning or at work. I always abided by them. Still, I looked in the mirror sometimes and thought, What happened. I had the CV of a model citizen or a gifted child, not a common drunk.
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The family was approached by a huge, tame wolf that walked nonchalantly around in front of them. They began talking about keeping the wolf as a pet. #2 The family was able to corner the wolf, and while they were able to shoot it, it didn’t seem to be hurting at all. It just stood there looking at them. #3 Tom was an experienced tracker, and he was confident that they could track the animal even in the thick Russian olives. The tracks were still visible. They reached a creek, and the animal seemed to be heading for the water. #4 The Gormans moved to Utah to get away from the busybodies and the closed community that kept prying into their lives. They bought a 480-acre homestead that had been empty for almost seven years.
