Escaping the Elaborate Facade of Alcoholic Bliss
Self-Help
friendships, and even professional success. Alcohol was celebrated among his
elder millennial peers. Abstinence was not. However, there were breadcrumbs
scattered across several decades that a lifestyle in alcoholic bliss was not
sustainable. Reckless behavior, relationship woes, declining health, personal
tragedy, and dreams unrealized began to fester. Eventually, a life in sobriety
became the only option if Nick was to live a life full of meaning and love.
A Fragile Utopia is a turbulent and honest journey into the depths of
alcoholism and the path to finding hope and purpose in recovery. The good news
is, when we look inward, there is light. If we own our flaws, there can be
redemption.
This memoir is a playbook for navigating early sobriety: how it will feel,
obstacles encountered, how loved ones will react, insight into treatment, how
AA and other fellowship recovery programs work, and examples of how most
people fail in early attempts at sobriety.
