Description

Recipient of the Hugo and Nebula Awards for his writing, Barry Longyear flexes his creative and comic chops in Yesterdays Tomorrow. 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 dont come naturallyand why its okay to let down our guard and laugh.

Recovery is one hell of a roller coaster. It twists and plummets, upending our stomachs, while some maniac cackles hysterically in the front car. Whats so damn funny Besides our stomachs contents, what are we missing Truth is, while we all sit anxiously awaiting that next drop, Barry Longyear is enjoying the wild ride.
An award-winning author and proprietor of the Life Sucks Better Clean blog, Barry has been on recoverys ride for a while now. He understands the importance of stupid questions and sarcastic responses. Hes honest to the point of embarrassment. And he has real problems: with friends, with self-ordained recovery police, and with the god of his childhood. But he also has a strong recovery full of laughter. Despite all its ups and downs, your recovery, too, can be a good one.
