I Survived the Party - And the Crash

John Stevens should have been a mortality statistic, after 25 years of a life of alcoholic insanity. As a child he endured the violence and chaos of alcoholism in his family, and he chose to perpetuate those family traditions in his own marriage. But today, thirty-five years later, John lives a life which is rich, vital, and, above all, sober; filled with friends, music, and service to others. The story of his metamorphosis is a compelling saga, a journey from the pit of addiction and degradation to a sane and useful life in recovery. John offers his story as a testimonial to the transcendent power of faith, trust, and love to utterly transform a man's life. As his tale reveals, this can sometimes begin in a sudden and dramatic way, on a fall walk through the bare trees of a still Minnesota woods.
