Becoming normal

Once it was normal for author Mark Edick to drink and take drugs. Now it is normal for him not to drink or take drugs. In this book, the concept of 'normal' is not simply a comparison between extremes, but of the personal and evolving understanding and acceptance of normal as it applies to the individual and his or her changing relationship with alcohol and drugs.
