Dramatic, inspirational stories of eighteen people who overcame a variety of addictions. Their journeys reveal how they were drawn in, their struggles, the anguish of relapse, and the determination it took for them to become clean and sober. Each rebuilt their life with the intervention and help of Sai Baba, a spiritual teacher in India, as well as Twelve Step groups and other supports. They realized they could not do it alone. The common thread is that they turned to a spiritual path, which brought about the changes necessary for lasting transformation. The book aims to give hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and the motivation to seek it, through the experiences of those who have traveled the rocky road to recovery. Ten years after first publication, fourteen of the contributors add brief updates on their lives, so you can see the results of their recovery ten years on.
