Bruce Hidasch grew up in rural Minnesota. His twenties were spent serving in the U.S. Air Force and then attending college where he received his B.S. and M.S in the field of Geophysics. Those years were also filled with countless blackout drunk nights. As he entered his early thirties, he knew he had to make a change before his excessive drinking completely ruined his life. After four years of sobriety, he decided to write a book about his struggles with alcohol and how he was finally able to put down the bottle. He now resides in San Diego, CA where he continues to live a healthier and happier life free of alcohol.
