A Journey on Borrowed Time is a true story that begins in innocence, staggers forward through six decades, and ends up teetering on the brink of death not once, but many times! It is an engaging account that details the life of a now retired salesman who will inspire anyone with a drinking problem, and encourage those who are related to a problem drinker. This work is designed to save the lives of people who think their problems incurable, their outlook suicidal. It should take the mystery out of Alcoholics Anonymous and open the door to all of those in need of help from AA and their fellowship. It will save lives because it will help many to identify with author Robert Russell Allen, his feelings, and observations over a lifetime. A Journey on Borrowed Time is a story of endurance, survival, and success with the help of Alcoholics Anonymous and God. Allen's story is told in an attempt to steer others away from his mistakes, desperation, despair and his devastation. Alcoholism is terminal without help.Robert Russell Allen grew up in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, and joined the Army at the age of 17. He now resides in Queensbury, New York, where he attends meetings each day with his friends in AA, spends time with his wife and family, and manages a Facebook page of 5,000 friends in recovery. Alcohol ruled Allen's life before recovery became his focus. Without help, it would have killed him.http://www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/AJourneyOnBorrowedTime.html
