Getting sober and staying sober isn’t easy at any age, but coming into AA early in life can have certain challenges. This book is a collection of stories by AA members who got sober in their teens, 20s and early 30s. It contains honest accounts of drinking in the lives of young adults, how they managed to get and stay sober and the impact that practicing the principles of AA has had on their lives. In Our Own Words not only articulates some of the difficulties faced by alcoholics young in years, but also describes some of the sober joys that await.

We invite you to join the journey.
