Lest We Forget

What is the meaning of ''Lest We Forget?'' In the words of the writer Edmund Burke, ''It means those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it.'' This is especially true for individuals who have overcome addiction as ongoing vigilance is required to maintain sobriety. The stories in this book walk the reader through the possibility of recovery from seemingly hopeless situations. It is recommended not only for alcoholic/addicts but also for their family members who are often baffled by the alcoholic/addict's behavior. The author is a former addictions counselor who worked for many years in a major hospital and also in a community clinic.
