A Fragile Utopia:
Escaping the Elaborate Façade of Alcoholic Bliss

About

ABOUT

We live in a culture that trains us to believe that we can attain a healthy life in alcoholic bliss.

Many of us try to trick ourselves into believing that myth. The truth is that most perceived benefits of drinking are an elaborate façade we construct for ourselves and others. When alcohol becomes paramount, we’re often living in a fragile utopia. The walls are about to crumble.  


My name is Nick Hanson. I’m sharing my journey to help those who are seeking solace in recovery and individuals who are looking to live a better life full of meaning and purpose.

BOOK

A Fragile Utopia is a turbulent and honest journey into the depths of alcoholism and the path to finding hope and purpose in recovery.

This memoir is a playbook for navigating early sobriety: how it will feel, obstacles encountered, how loved ones will react, insight into treatment, how AA and other fellowship recovery programs work, and examples of how most people fail in early attempts at sobriety.

Now available on Amazon (ebook, paperback and hardcover) and Audible!
