Addiction Recovery

93-year-old man publishes 3 books about life as a recovering alcoholic

WATCH – IT’S NEVER TOO LATE! –

May 26, 2021 –  For the past 35 years, Bob Nylund’s family and friends told him to write a book about his interesting life of overcoming alcohol addiction.

It took until the age of 93, some advice from a ‘guy in a coffee shop’, and a winter full of boredom ahead for the Ironwood native to start writing. His first book only took him 3 weeks to write. After reading his book, Bob’s daughter Greta encouraged him to write more. He now has 3 published books; Life of a Recovering Alcoholic … and Golfer, Reflections, and Two Lost and Found Souls. Bob is a huge lover of golf – in fact, he golfed 1000 holes at the age of 86. He is still golfing today. Bob says his friends call him Ol’ Grateful Bob. He he lives by the saying “If you’re grateful for being sober, how can you pick up a drink?”
