A Shot At Redemption: My Journey To Sobriety And A Meaningful Life

The son of a New York City fireman, Bill Mahoney grew up on the rough and tumble streets of Brooklyn. He took his first drink when he was just eleven years old. He became a raging alcoholic, whose drinking led him from one mishap to another. After a stint in Vietnam and graduate school at Cornell, he escapes to the mountains of Colorado, where an epiphanic moment finally induces him to seek treatment for his addictions. Sober at last, his adventures, he discovers, are only just beginning. He becomes a successful real estate developer, joins the Baha'i faith, and as a Baha'i "Travel Teacher," helps to bring the faith to the former Soviet Union. He learns to fly a plane, travels the world, finds the love of his life, and by a quirk of fate, reconnects with his long lost son. Mahoney's story is an inspiring tale of addiction and redemption, of love lost and love found, and of the healing power of faith.
