Product Description
The first in a series of three recovery guides for the first three years of sobriety, First-Year Sobriety uses the voices of many women and men who are struggling in the often baffling territory of their first year of sobriety to show that despite their differing experiences, all are united in the process of giving life without alcohol or other drugs a chance. These are people who are alternately amazed, appalled, delighted, depressed, illuminated, disturbed, or simply thrown by their first days, weeks, and months of sobriety. Kettelhack explores the challenges all seem to face: learning to break through loneliness, isolation, and fear; finding ways to deal with anger, depression, and resentment; and learning how to deal with a new and sometimes overwhelming happiness. Guy Kettelhack has written seven books on recovery. He is completing a Master's degree in psychoanalysis, and is an analyst-in-training at the Boston and New York Centers for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies. A graduate of Middlebury College, Kettelhack has also done graduate work in English literature at Bread Loaf School of English at Oxford University. He lives in New York City. |

A nice book for someone newly sober by Reagan's Mom (Michigan)  5 Stars
March 02, 2009
This is a nice book for someone newly sober. It is similar to the AA Big Book as the chapters are various first person accounts but this is specifically about the first year sober.

Nothing I had already read before by Julie Murphy (Newport, RI)  3 Stars
August 27, 2008
This book took a lot of entries from the AA's Big Book and the "Living sober" book. I was disappointed because I thought I would be reading new material. If you don't have any AA literature this is a great book for you.

May 02, 2008
This is a very good beginning for someone who is in treatment and ready to get out. It presents an encouraging, practical viewpoint without overwhelming amounts of rhetoric.

great choice by Sandra J. Reagle (Talbott, TN USA) 5 Stars
February 23, 2008
I purchased this for a relayive who is just out of detox. She found this extremely interesting and helpful to guiding her through the trials and challenges she is currently facing. She feels it is a must read for everyone experiencing sobriety and family members too to understand the first year and first time sobriety.
So I give it 5 stars and a review of excellence!
