Echo Beach - Nancy Parsons - Bog

The author, an alcoholic in recovery for the past 34 years, recounts her life growing up in a family of alcoholics, her two marriages to alcoholics and then succumbing herself to the lure of alcohol. Her work demonstrates how alcohol wreaks its devastation on the lives of everyone surrounding the alcoholic. Nancy A. Parsons speaks from her own point of view from a small child growing to adulthood, her married life with her alcoholic husbands, her own life as an alcoholic and finally, her escape, with God's very real grace and the help of Alcoholics Anonymous. "I wrote this book to give someone on path of the trials and tribulations of an alcoholic destruction the courage and strength to turn aside from that path to healing and wholeness. Life becomes difficult, or even impossible in some cases. You have to swallow your pride and go for help. We are in a drug oriented world today. Our children are affected by our behavior, and by our choices. If you need help or love an alcoholic and just do not know where to turn, there is help out there."
