I drank for 40 years and never outwardly showed any signs of alcoholic behavior. Then all of a sudden, at 2:00 a.m. on 3rd Avenue in New York City, the police found me in a gutter clinging onto life. This is my story on how I survived in order to conquer the debilitating effects of alcoholism. My name is Jeffrey and I am an alcoholic.

Reads Like an Equipment Leasing Textbook:
I appreciate Mr. Taylor's candor and imagine this endeavor was cathartic, but this is a poorly written book. It reads more like an outline put in sentence form. The author made a living writing textbooks and this seems dry by textbook standard.

This is the Real Deal:
Such a courageous story of recovery and pain from alcoholism but a tremendous lesson in forgiveness and love and a chance at life again.

For The Recovery of ALL!!:
Jeffrey Taylor was able to bring focus to not only his story but to the millions of untold stories, heroes, survivors and victims of alcoholism and its depth of destruction that comes to families in waves.

A Gentleman Drunk:
Jeffrey Taylor's "A Gentleman Drunk" was so incredibly fascinating and fast-paced I read it in one evening. So many of our stories are in this wonderful sharing of a heart and soul that was in such racking pain. I plan to re-read this on a less excited basis, again and again. Thank you, Jeffrey, for your sincerity and demonstrating how we sufferers can survive this mixed curse and blessing.
