In these true stories, Longyear wanders from scenic Maine backdrops to the smoky hum of backwoods Twelve Step meetings, all while dissecting why some recoveries don't come naturally--and why it's okay to let down our guard and laugh.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRecovery is one hell of a roller coaster. It twists and plummets, upending our stomachs, while some maniac cackles hysterically in the front car. What's so damn funny? Besides our stomach's contents, what are we missing? Truth is, while we all sit anxiously awaiting that next drop, Barry Longyear is enjoying the wild ride.\u003cbr\u003e An award-winning author and proprietor of the Life Sucks Better Clean blog, Barry has been on recovery's ride for a while now. He understands the importance of stupid questions and sarcastic responses. He's honest to the point of embarrassment.
