Publisher Description
This is a compelling book for anyone suffering from alcoholism, seeking to understand it, or wanting to warn loved ones and friends of its affects. Brutally honest and inspiring, it tells the life story of one of Australia's well-known writers as an alcoholic and his struggle to become and stay sober.

Both heart-wrenching and enlightening, his chronicle is a strong personal story of triumph over substance abuse that will grip readers from the start. Ross Fitzgerald is one of Australia's most prolific authors, to-date publishing 35 books. They include novels, histories, biographies and poetry.

My name is Ross
I think this was a good book to read and has given me an insight to help me understand the complex issues with people suffering this disease. Thank you.
My Name is Ross
I found this books to be one of the very best on how one person has been able to stop drinking alcohol, when his body was crying out for more. Unlike other authors who seem to dwell on what they got up to, during their fuelled up years, Ross briefly examines those critical years but gives us hope when he Is able to live his life using AA. I would highly recommend that this book be placed in all public libraries,rehabilitation centres, psychiatric hospitals and AA meeting places.
