Any good books for/about giving up alcohol? I want to read but I'm always too hungover to focus on anything worthwhile. If there was something that could knock two birds out with one stone I'd appreciate a suggestion.

I know it's a meme here, but Infinite Jest is actually largely about rehab facilities and AA procedures. I thought it was actually pretty readable once you get over the wall-of-text format.

This post needs Deleuze and Guattari instead of Bakunin and Zizek.

Yeah, Infinite Jest.
Especially Don Gately's chapters. For context he lives and works at a drug recovery house and is a recovering addict himself.
