A very wise and practical book for ACOA's and others
Even though I didn't grow up in an alcoholic home I did grow up in a dysfunctional one. Most people come from dysfunctional families of some kind, only the lucky few miss out on this grand adventure...lol! I enjoyed this book immensely and highly recommend it to anyone interested in understanding themselves, their families of origin, and their current family situation. Many nuggets of wisdom in this volume. A true blessing to anyone looking for emotional healing.

Breaking the pattern
I think that it is a fantastic book for anyone that has come from a dysfunctional family in any shape of form. I thought at first that because my parents werent alcoholics it would not help me but I was wrong. If you are prepared to change and break the pattern that you have seen in your family and in your own behaviour this book can help you to understand that you are not alone and that those feelings that you have are normal.
Reading the experiences of those people in the book it helps to try to get an inside into your own behaviour and feelings, it is a great book to help you through your own discovery as it triggers memories and feelings (at least it did it for me)
