About the Author: The author is a retired science writer with many years of sobriety. She spent most of her working years as a functioning alcoholic, working during the day, drinking at night. This led her to drugs-which led her to emergency rooms and eventually to rehab. After her children and grandchildren said they couldn't deal with her substance abuse anymore, she reluctantly decided to retire from her writing career and sign into a treatment center in one stroke. On discharge 30 days later, she joined Alcoholics Anonymous (A. A.). That was over 15 years ago. The EZ Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous is the book the author wished she had when she first entered A. A.-a book without sexist language and one that didn't assume that alcoholics were men with stay-at-home wives.
