Twenty people who have each been sober for more than fifty years tell their recovery stories--and offer actionable advice to others who are in recovery.
1000 Years of Sobriety features the moving personal accounts of twenty men and women who have each remained sober for more than fifty years.

Each story concludes with sage words of advice for others in recovery.Those who share their stories in 1000 Years of Sobriety are living proof that the human connection bonded by the Twelve Steps has unsurpassed powers, and that AA is a program for generations to come.
