A Thank You Note to God . . .

About the Book

Jim began his recovery from alcoholism on July 18, 1973—a gift of grace (an unwarranted gift) from God. Both Jim and Joan have spent a major part of their lives in an effort to help other families recover from this horrific disease, with Joan as a counselor as well as being in support groups. Jim was involved as a board member of various alcoholism programs and support groups. Jim was given the opportunity of a second chance at life. He shares about his family, wonderful children, and grandchildren, a successful business career, various volunteer activities, blood donor program, coaching Little League, and church activities. The book is an attempt to share this with the reader and to illustrate that there is hope for those still struggling with this disease.
