Still Waters: Sobriety, Atonement and Unfolding Enlightenment

William Alexander

4/5 ( ratings)

A wellspring of inspiration for individuals longing for more in recovery.

William Alexander got clean and sober in 1984. On the outside, all was well. He was married, working, and healthy. Yet as the years passed, he became increasingly discontent. Something important, something profound was missing in his long-term sobriety. Here, with marvelous insight and agile humor, Alexander leads readers through the deeply personal twists and turns of his spiritual reckoning and eventual reawakening. His style is direct yet welcoming. His stories are stunning in their simplicity. Readers who long for something more in recovery from addiction will find true bearings in Alexander's spiritual meanderings and take comfort in his musings. As a sequel to Cool Water, Alexander's acclaimed first book about living well in recovery, Still Waters offers readers a thought-provoking and encouraging view from further on down the recovery road.

"Still Waters is a rare, realistic and often rollicking account of the up's and down's in life after sobriety. Full of good stories and slant wisdom."
-- Sam Keen, author of Fire in the Belly, Hymns to an Unknown God, and Faces of the Enemy
