Living with Purpose: J.W. Collier's Journey to Easy Sobriety
It's no wonder why most of us, as we grow up and become able to drink, give it a try, and then, of course, the addictive qualities reign us in and keep us under their control for a long time. But here was the most interesting part for me, and I've said this before. It did not add anything to me or my life.
