A Powerful accounting of a man's fall from grace with alcohol. The author, a renowned Judge, tells his story in great detail.

Judge Ray H., a prominent figure in the development of AA in Iowa as the person that organized the first AA group in Iowa.

Here is a portion of the Foreword:

“THE AUTHOR makes no pretense of being a writer.

His name is not listed correctly, but anonymously, due to the tradition of Alcoholics Anonymous. All of the things set out in this book are true facts, and there is no fiction contained herein.

It is often said that alcohol makes a man live in the land of fantasy. Well, if you think that is fantasy, then the author believes that the alcoholic has two lives of fantasy to live one while drinking compulsively, and the other after AA and after he has ceased to drink any more.”
