Synopsis

With delightful humor, this work covers the serious matter of recovery from alcoholism. In letters to a fellow devil, Glumlot writes about his attempts in tempting a human away from A.A., sobriety, and recovery. By describing what the other side is planning, this book offers a practical application of AA's Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, and a revitalizing approach to universal spiritual principles that are the basis for a relationship with a Higher Power.

From Letter Seventeen: "Some humans, especially non-drinkers, give us all the credit for getting our patients drunk. It is not like that at all. We suggest the first drink, but only the disease can hold the door open long enough for the idea to get in. No human in his right mind, who had an allergy such as this, would ever drink again, but the illness somehow erases the memory or circumvents normal logic. We can knock on the door. It is the alcoholic who must answer. He must come alone if he is going to drink and once again set the cycle in motion. In some cases, the Enemy [God] is at the gate with him. So you try again some other time. We can 'Keep coming back,' too!"
