we work it out or we live it out
this was a wonderful book,it was so painful to read ,but so real,with out these stories that validated my own pain of growing up in my own family...where i felt so alone and abandoned and so out of control, this book helped me see that if i didnt work this stuff out in my own life that i would live it out and recreate the same scene in my own life..out of my aloneness and abandonment issues i would put this on other people and have the same expectations of them as i did of my family of original and those needs would not be meet because i was not healthy enough to find someone that was available as only the inavailable was attractive to me ...as i was also looking for someone to rescue and caretake just as i had learnt in my family..or i would find someone to rescue me..this book stopped me enough to get honest,and as without anything in life there is no gain without pain ..what a book...what a journey..the truth does set you free.have the courage to read this book it is amazing...its not about blame its about recovery..

The book of my life & my family
If you, as a child, young adult or parent, have experienced the challenges of an alcoholic or drug addictive home this is a MUST READ. I gained insight into the behavior patterns and character defects that were created by my family life. The stories shared are touching and inspiring.

This book opened up alot of doors for me..
I can't believe how much of my childhood, I had hid, and I much I could not heal and grow until Icame into al-anon. This book made me take a good look at how growing up in an alcoholic home has effected me, and how it led me to an alcoholic marriage... I am truly grateful for coming upon this book, it has helped me tremendously in my paths to recovery. AMY Similar Products
