Would you invest $15.00 in the hopes that your relative or friend could free him or herself of this addiction? Donald Magdziasz, under the pen name Donn M. Josh has presented a novel which just may give that relative or friend of yours a chance. Entitled Coil Country Donn traces the history of Coil Bennett as he falls prey to the demons of excessive drinking and alcoholism. Along the road to hell Coil faces and loses to the forces of alcoholism his wife, his family, all of his friends, and his standing as a contributing member of society. He and the liquor he so dearly loves willingly endorse a lifestyle of isolationism. He knows of no one who would shed a tear or even notice that he passed. Coil could care less. Travel on the path to self- destruction results in Coil's soon finding himself engulfed in the legal system as his driving after drinking brings about criminal charges of driving while under the influence of alcohol. Thinking he can as he had done so in the past manipulate the staff of the legal system, Coil adopts a facade of a guilty but remorseful person who swears that his drinking is a thing of the past. This is an easy sale to a bored and overworked legal staff. The goal of teaching the drinker that his continued involvement with alcohol will do nothing more than bring about grief and irreparable harm to not only all of his significant others but to strangers as well becomes significantly blurred. The rehabilitative process which purports to teach the drinking driver skills to cope with his/her addiction has become nothing more than an inconvenience of being convicted. Coil will as will most drinkers tolerate the meetings only so that they may return to their chosen lifestyle of living with the bottle as their dearest and only friend. In his travels, however, Coil is exposed to a Judge and a Court appointed sponsor who become hurdles to Coil's plan. His return to his chosen life style is detoured as it has never been before. Multiple complications arise as his sponsor endorses a mentoring program which is not only unwanted by Coil but one which intends to force Coil into a life style which is not of his choosing. Eventually but only after life changing choices, Coil with the urging of his sponsor, a priest whose nickname is "Pits" but who goes by Father Michael and a friend named Charlie, enters a program of counseling which offer Coil the opportunity to get back on the straight and narrow. After much soul searching and heart rendering memories Coil begins to realize that reclaiming a new life and fruitful life may be possible. Coil with seven newly found social misfits and the help of his sponsor, Father Michael and Charlie begin a journey to recapture the persons they were before succumbing to the fury, wrath and devastation impacted upon them by alcohol addiction. A serious read with light moments of humor and characters larger than life, Coil Country explores a plague that is global and is destroying many good people day after day after day. Freeing of a person dominated, controlled, and influenced by alcoholism and helping him or her beat back the squid like tentacles that have made their life meaningless is the goal of Coil Country.
