Al is Al's first book with an unabashed allusion to his name. He has grown use to it. It has a familiar ring. It is also his first book to play with the specific tenets of recovery, i.e., The Twelve Steps, The Twelve Traditions, The Promises, heck, even The Ten Commandments and The Boy Scout Code come under his purview. Not to be outdone Al takes off on his own flight of fantasy in the second half offering a profundity of postulation for posterity. Preposterous? Possibly. Proceed promptly and perceive proof. He argues we have only twenty years left before coastal flooding. His last thought before his embers are flushed down the toilet. "Drink plenty of water."
