{"product_id":"2940046559330","title":"My Higher Power: First steps toward sobriety","description":"\u003cp\u003eHere is the brutally honest account of my first two weeks of sobriety. It covers the highs and lows of a search for meaning and presence. After a lifetime of alcohol addiction, I found myself, a writer, faced with the prospect of drowning in the bottle or taking my health and sanity into my own two hands and shaking some sense into it.\u003cbr\u003eIt was a documentary by comedian and social commentator, Russell Brand, that was the turning point for me. The inspiration I felt while watching it was tantamount to a spiritual awakening and in that moment I made Russell my higher power and through a diary I sought to capture that essence of sobriety and make it work for me.\u003cbr\u003eI had no support system and was terrified of turning up cold at an AA meeting. The two weeks that I have documented, show a woman who wants to be well, a woman who takes a tumble into a soggy relapse and arrives at the end of the fortnight ready to front up to a meeting and change her life, one day at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eugenius Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47072464109808,"sku":"2940046559330","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940046559330_p0.jpg?v=1764002230","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940046559330","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
