About the Author: Gary Stoefen
I have had over 40 years of continuous sobriety and know this subject matter well. When I was 28 years old (back in 1980), I decided to quit drinking after being "sick and tired" of being "sick and tired". I joined a 12 step recovery group and have stayed sober ever since, one day at a time. My daughter, Lisa, was also in recovery and sober for three years as a teenager. Sadly, the disease of addiction claimed her life when she turned 21. I decided to write this book in honor of her memory and more importantly, to allow readers an insight into this devastating disease. I offer practical suggestions based on my experience, strength and hope. Lisa helped many people in recovery while sober. She is still doing that today by my telling her story of triumph and tragedy.
Lisa was a bright, beautiful young girl who had all the potential and creativity to be happy and successful. She also had the disease of addiction.

Introduced to alcohol at the age of fourteen, Lisa slipped into a world of addiction and ultimate tragedy. Her struggles and triumphs over addiction are chronicled in this heartfelt story.

Her father is a recovering alcoholic with over forty years of sobriety.
He writes candidly about his daughter’s recovery and the fatal mistake that led to her untimely death. He shares his knowledge about recovery and the greatest myth associated with this disease. Growing up in a family pre-disposed to alcoholism, he was able to break the cycle of addiction and offers his insight. He explores the “alcoholic personality” and what can be done to stay sober a day at a time.

Lisa’s Light is for anyone that wants to better understand this disease. For those in recovery, her story is a testament to the seriousness and devastation of a disease that is cunning, baffling, and powerful. It's a disease that “never takes a rest”.
