Jean Gives Hope to Other Alcoholics
Cape Town, South Africa (PRWEB) July 24, 2013 -- According to their current online fact file, Alcoholics Anonymous estimates approximately 2,057,672 members are striving for sobriety worldwide. Jean was one of those members. In her new memoir, “Behind the Curtain: A Journey to Sobriety” (published by Trafford Publishing), Jean details her painful childhood that led her to alcoholism and the long and treacherous road she took back to sobriety.
“I now have 34 years of sobriety,” says Jean. “The book is an honest and true account of a life gone wrong but turned around so that elation and gratitude become the focus of my new life.”
As the only child of an alcoholic mother, Jean knew pain and strife before she was able to read. She developed alcoholism later in her life and spent many years trying to pull herself out of her hole. Both poignant and honest, “Behind the Curtain” gives a stark and brutal account of one woman’s eventual triumph over alcoholism, despite the many setbacks she faced. Readers are sure to feel inspired by Jean’s hopeful message that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
“My personal anguish needed to be described,” Jean writes. “My life, very nearly gone amiss, needed to be recorded not just to give me the chance to own up to it but also in the hope that it would help others to deal with their own devils of alcoholism and child abuse.”
