The first in a series of three recovery guides for the first three years of sobriety, First-Year Sobriety uses the voices of many women and men who are struggling in the often baffling territory of their first year of sobriety. The author, Guy Kettlehack, explores the challenges all people in recovery seem to face such as learning to break through loneliness and fear; finding ways to deal with anger and depression and learning how to deal with a new feeling of happiness.
