Download Dryland: One Woman's Swim to Sobriety AudioBook Free

For swimming champion Nancy Stearns Bercaw, the pool was a natural habitat. But on land, she could never shake the feeling of being a seafood out of normal water. Starting at time two, Nancy committed her life to going swimming, even qualifying for the 1988 Olympic Studies in the fifty-meter freestyle event. But nearly two decades later, when she hung up her cover and goggles, she was confronted with an alternative kind of problem: learning who she was out of the lanes. In this genuine, personal memoir, Nancy shows on her behalf years wandering the world, where tragic occasions and a lost sense of self applied escalate her reliance on booze. Thirty-three years after her first sip of alcohol, the swimmer comes to a stunning realization while coping with her man and son in Abu Dhabi - she's drowning in the desert. Nancy looks to the Bedouin people for the durability to conquer one final opposition: alcohol cravings.
