This book started out as a joke. As I wrote it though, over the space of a year and a half, I realized a couple of things. First, I still have issues to work out. Second, a zillion other people are working on the same things. With that in mind, I've put together a collection of anecdotes and advice based on hard-won lessons about alcohol, triggers for over-drinking, building better habits, and success in life. If you think you might benefit from drinking less, this book is for you. Want to drop a subtle hint for a friend who's overdoing it? Leave a copy out on the coffee table or drop it on their desk. I'm sharing parts of my personal story here to give you some context for the book, and to let you know that whatever problems you're facing, whatever you've been through, you're not alone!-Rick Gehrke
