Getting Sober: A Practical Guide to Making It Through the First 30 Days

"Honest, direct, comprehensive, and practical."

—Bestselling author Mary Pipher

"Kelly Madigan Erlandson’s book will help many who

are beginning their trudge on the road to happy

destiny."

—Christopher Kennedy Lawford, author of

Symptoms of Withdrawal:

A Memoir of Snapshots and Redemption

Already hailed as "a thoughtful and comprehensive

guide to those early, crucial days of sobriety," this

groundbreaking new book is different from anything

else on the market. As an alcohol and drug counselor

for more than 20 years who has helped thousands into

recovery, the author does not focus on trying to diagnose

the problem; instead, she compassionately guides

you through the first 30 days of sobriety—the

most crucial part of recovery.

She gives you practical, day-by-day advice for

becoming and staying sober—from removing alcohol

and alcohol-related items from your house to picking

the recovery program that fits your needs.
