The From Celebration to Inebriation Study Guide is a companion resource designed to help men's groups walk through the message of the book together in a structured and meaningful way.

Built around the powerful parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15, the study explores the progression that many men experience when alcohol—or any destructive pattern—moves from celebration into control.

The guide follows the same ten stages explored in the book:

• Liberation — the desire for independence • Celebration — when habits first appear harmless • Indoctrination — how culture shapes belief • Normalization — when behavior becomes routine • Provocation — when crisis exposes weakness • Domination — when the habit begins controlling the man • Realization — the awakening moment • Expectation — the difficult road back • Reconciliation — the Father who runs • Restoration — a life rebuilt through grace 

Each weekly session includes:

• Opening discussion questions • Scripture exploration • Group conversation prompts • Personal reflection questions • Guided spiritual inventory

This resource is designed to help men have the kinds of conversations that rarely happen in everyday life—honest discussions about struggle, accountability, repentance, and restoration.

Because the story of the prodigal son reminds us of something every man needs to remember:

No matter how far the journey into the far country has gone, the road home is still open.
