Gratitude, Grit & Giggles: Reflections from My Perfectly Imperfect Journey

Bill Henry thought he was in the driver's seat, right up until the universe ripped the steering wheel out of his hands.

Some might think of this as a book about one drunk's recovery. In reality, it is one man's journey from an egomaniac who was faking life, to a man who is starting to save himself in his sixties.

His favorite line in the 400 plus pages of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous is, "WE ARE NOT A GLUM LOT"—and his humor truly delivers a smile while facing the fact that he used to be a Class-A asshole.

Gratitude, Grit & Giggles is a raw, funny, and unfiltered roadmap for anyone trying to find their footing when life knocks them flat.

Bill H. is the founder of Living Step Solutions and author of Gratitude, Grit & Giggles, an honest memoir on high-functioning alcoholism and recovery.

For 37 years, Bill thrived in the wine and beverage industry, earning multiple Salesman of the Year awards. On the outside, he was the picture of success.

Like many, Bill resisted his drinking problem—even after a cirrhosis diagnosis. It wasn't until facing a liver transplant that he finally embraced a 12-step program to save his life and learn the truth about himself.

Today, Bill channels his resilience into Living Step Solutions, helping others align their values with their goals. He proves that recovery isn't the end—it’s the first step toward a vastly more rewarding, and often humorous, life.
