John Moriarty author of Liquid Lover spoke with us by phone on 26^th October 2001, from Kansas City, Missouri, USA.

Liquid Lover is described as "a memoir of addiction, recovery and hope.".

It’s a bare-knuckles recounting of how John came to achieve sobriety after 27 years of alcohol addiction. He holds nothing back: from his first alcohol experience at age 10 and rape by an older boy at 11, to discussion of his alcohol-ruined relationships in adult life. Liquid Lover celebrates the three years so far of his recovery and offers great hope to others who can benefit from reading an honest success story. John talks about his process of recovery – what worked for him and what didn’t. He doesn’t offer an instant cure, but rather the assurance that the addict can choose to accept help - when they are ready.

Not at all preachy, with a unique style and very entertaining.
