The Devil’s Tongue

Inside this book you will read the story of a man who spent fifty-two years as an alcoholic before finally turning his life around. The story touches on all of the foolish things that alcoholics will do and the destructive behavior that can rule their lives. It also shows the devastating effect that alcohol can have on a marriage and family life. Everything in an alcoholic’s life revolves around the need for alcohol – the needs of the family place a very distant second. I hope this book can help the family and friends of alcoholics understand why their loved ones act so irresponsibly, and why they speak with the Devil’s Tongue” when they are under the influence of alcohol. I wrote this book with all the honesty and humour I could manage, hoping that it will help to motivate and inspire people. I want to show that even a long-term alcoholic can kick the habit and go on to live a fulfilling lifestyle and regain the respect of family and friends. Sincerely, Merv Lien
