About this listen

FROM DARK TO LIGHT

• DESPAIR TO HOPE

• FEAR TO CONFIDENCE!

• WRITTEN BY AN ALCOHOLIC FOR ALCOHOLICS (10 years sober as the book is published)

You're about to experience a compelling story. In Alcoholism Uncovered, Paul Macauley will take you from dark to light, from despair to hope, and from fear to confidence.

What is wisdom? In my case, it's alcoholism, together with the suicidal thoughts that went with my dis-ease, and all because I didn't know the way out.

Alcoholism Uncovered is a social blueprint of how to give up alcohol, but most of all how to be at peace in the world. After all, if only everybody behaved, the world would be a better place and we wouldn't have to drink, or at least that's what we think. And that's our problem. Our painful thinking means that we drink to get away from what hurts.

In this book, you'll learn that we are our own creators. Life is either happening to us, or for us, and I'm going to show you how to make it the latter. Think like I think I was told, and you'll have what I have. The guy who told me that had a joyful sobriety and a great life with amazing relationships. And you can have it too, he told me – so that's what I'm passing on...

May the journey begin... Alcoholism Uncovered by Paul Macauley.

As someone who has 10 years of recovery I have to say this is essential reading/listening. I got a lot from this book and would highly recommend it to anyone who is serious about thier recovery.

I absolutely loved this book. One line that really struck me was: "If the mind can make you sick, then you have to believe the mind can make you well." It resonated deeply and genuinely shifted my perspective. Another powerful moment was the line: "Pain doesn't happen to us, it happens for us—so we can do better." Just brilliant. So impactful.

The preface felt a bit heavy, but once I got into chapter one, I was completely drawn in. Engaging, insightful, and truly inspiring.
