High Sobriety By Alice King

Posted at 2:07PM Wednesday 19 Mar 2008



High Sobriety By Alice King
ISBN: 9780752889559

The last section of King's memoir, High Sobriety, details her tortuous eventual recovery and is the most absorbing and best written part of the book. Dealing with her epic dependency was achieved in part through the same bloody-mindedness that convinced her she could drink all the booze in all the world without becoming a gruesome drunk and, in part, through attending many, many AA meetings
