I'm male, white and sober and Chaney was part of it.

I met Chaney in San Diego in the early 70's and she was a very powerful influence to me and many other struggling acoholics.

If you're in need of help this book should be a must read.

A must read for all African-American Women beginning anew.
In May, 1989, my sister met this woman, Chaney Allen, and told her that her sister, me, was in a treatment center hoping to recover from the disease of addiction. Ms. Allen autographed a copy of her book, "I'm Black & I'm Sober" and my sister mailed it to me. I read it and marvelled at the the content thereof. I had never read anything so personal and honest. It indeed gave me the identification and courage I needed to believe that I, too, could recover from a disease which wrecked such havoc in my life. I applaud Ms. Chaney Allen for sharing her life with me through the pages of "I'm Black & I'm Sober." As I approach a decade drug/alcohol-free I thank God for using you to give me and many others hope - you see, I passed on your book to those I met.
