AUTHORS NOTES

Even good people like Harry (and my late Uncle Bill) can fall into addiction. But luckily AA and similar organisations are there to help.

Short chapters in this story but that was a deliberate attempt to stop from getting too wordy.

Please review; as I need all the help I can get in working out what's good and bad in my storytelling.

Go ahead; be critical, I can take it!

Thanks to

Naomi SilverWolf - I honoured by your praise for my "original" plot.

Danu40k - I know what you mean. I wrote this story in memory of my Uncle Bill, an alcoholic who finally stopped after the family stopped bailing him out of trouble and went on to become a councillor for others in AA. He died a few years ago of liver cancer.

candledot - Did I add enough?
