Last drink to LA : confessions of an AA survivor

Sutherland, John2015
Books
Udpated edition of this short, funny and scarily to the point book about alcoholism, and drying out, with a new introduction from the author. Confessions of an AA Survivor. Since its launch 70 years ago, Alcoholics Anonymous has sparked hot debate. For its advocates, it is simply the most efficient way of dealing with the tolerated epidemic of alcoholism; its opponents regard it as little better than a cult. In this book, John Sutherland examines the exotic mutation of the movement in the hothouse atmosphere of southern California. Part reportage, part confession, this is a study of AA as it has evolved alongside the Dream Factory of Hollywood, laced with personal testimony from two generations of Sutherlands who have passed through it.
