This is one man's struggle, from childhood through adulthood, unable to conquer personal problems without the aid of alcohol. Living vicariously through fictitious and real characters that his imagination thinks are colorful and becoming to his aspirations. An unreal world with real consequences, fueled by a mind altering drug.
Alcohol is a drug, a deadly drug if consumed in sufficient portions or over an extended period of time. It truly is a poison. It is an unrecognizable poison due to the flowery misleading advertising and the misconstrued appearing social status when consumed by anyone with an addictive nature and personal issues to be suppressed.
Woeful Wisdom is a work of fiction based on many facts of a real addiction. A Quasi autobiographical endeavor zeroing in on the addiction of alcoholism.
Unfortunately, stories about addiction are a dime a dozen, often leaving out the 'human' aspect which in turn tends to distance one's self inclusion. This manuscript hopefully humanizes a serious problem in our society and intends to give a personal touch in order to make a lasting serious impression.
It has been said that an alcoholic affects an average of seven people with his or her sickness. Of course that would increase as the size of the family increases. It isn't too clear if education helps the problem as it is an equal opportunity disease, affecting the educated and illiterate, rich and poor alike; however, let's keep attempting to educate with the hope it will get through to as many as possible.
The non-alcoholic family member suffers greatly along with the alcoholic and in many ways lends to the alcoholic's behavior by unwittingly enabling them. Woeful Wisdom is intended to entertain as well as educate.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
