Alternately denying and facing his alcohol addiction the author undertakes a career in psychiatric nursing in Sydney in the 1970s. His marriage has failed and he flounders at first as he finds a place in the sexual revolution and house sharing culture of the times. The reader is taken on a romp through his adventures - and misadventures - eventually leaving Sydney and ‘doing a geographical’. The book gives us glimpses of how he found a new life and gained insight through many experiences, trials and errors. In a life spinning out of control, the author’s alcoholism and irresponsible lifestyle , intersected by sobering realisations, lead him to decide to become a psychiatric nurse. Better inside with the keys than without them!
