Are you on the spectrum of alcoholism? Can you enjoy just one drink? Are you dealing with unintended consequences? There are many undiagnosed alcoholics who are dealing with significant repercussions because of their alcohol consumption in a society that embraces it. In Recovery without Community, author Gary P. Desjardins, a high-functioning alcoholic, shares a five-step recovery plan he created to become sober privately, with or without community support.

Desjardins, an almost sixty-year-old successful executive, has unsuccessfully managed the issue of alcohol for more than forty years. He attended numerous counseling sessions and completed numerous programs, but only recently did he discover the truth. He shares it in Recovery without Community to let others know they aren't alone and to help them manage or eliminate the beast. Recently, he chose to look into his soul through his faith in Jesus Christ and address his monster in the closet: using alcohol while alone.

This spirituality book tells Desjardins' story of trying to manage alcohol struggles for a lifetime and finally, through the grace of God, finds the way out of addiction through a five-step process.
