Autobiography of a Reformed Drunkard
0 - Default Title
Description
His story begins with him waking up from a blackout drunk in the state of Connecticut. He tells how he was jailed and then forced into an Alms House, a sort of sober living recovery house of the time. He describes some of his fellow drunkards, and how he eventually recovers. The second part of the book describes his reuniting with his family, and the work he does to be of service to others trying to recover from drunkenness.
At times humorous, as when he describes the Eagle of the State of Connecticut, and at times tragic, when he describes those who drank themselves to death, he is passionate about passing along a message of recovery from drunkenness.
