About this book from the back cover:
“An eye-opener for anyone who might think — wrongly — that a lifetime of sobriety in AA has to be tame or humdrum!
Earle M. joined Alcoholics Anonymous in 1953. His close friend was Bill W., AA’s co-founder. And his story - “Physician, Heal Thyself!” - is part of AA’s classic “Big Book.” Now 35 years sober and still charged with the same energy that has rocketed him through a series of adventures - inner and outer - Dr. Earle M., former chief of obstetrics and gynecology at a major California hospital, lecturer on addiction, sex researcher for Kinsey, counselor, actor, and filmmaker, shares his life-journey of "joyous and tumultuous sobriety."
Follow him through several career changes that kept him continent-hopping, through four marriages, through unusual tests of his sobriety (how does a recovering alcoholic stay sober in a Chinese opium den?). Relish his vignettes about the early days of AA in this country and abroad - in Helsinki, Paris, London, Copenhagen, Saigon, Rome, and Katmandu.
What emerges from these true tales of emotional turbulence, spiritual seekings, and world-wanderings is the personality of a brilliant, driven, charming man, who is also a sober, devoted, lifelong member of Alcoholics Anonymous.”
