I have now been sober 5 years, by the grace of God, the healing available in the church, and by attending AA meetings faithfully. I highly recommend this book by Fr. Meletios Weber: “Steps of Transformation , An Orthodox Priest Explores the Twelve Steps”.
This is much needed, especially today when many people in the US will be drinking alcohol, many of them to excess. Mankind using alcohol as a coping mechanism has destroyed so many lives and grieves God terribly. When we are drunk in the body, we can lose sight of ourselves and those around us. Don't give in to the devil and his demons!
