This book could change your life.
Both of my parents were alcoholics, and when I read It Will Never Happen to Me in the 1980s it changed my life forever. Just this week I recommended it to yet another person. Most people I've given it to are afraid to read it, because it will bring back painful memories, but it is worth it. If some readers find the material in this book to be basic or familiar, they may not realize that it was the ground breaking book on this subject for a popular audience. All subsequent books for adult children of alcoholics owe a debt to Claudia Black.

hard but rewarding read
It Will Never Happen to Me is a book about the children of alcoholics. This book was not hard to read in terms of language, but instead subject matter. It was hard to read her straightforward insights without feeling pain. I related so much to the various roles she describes children of alcoholics as typically falling into. This book is great if you're looking for stories about people going through the same things you've gone through. However, it doesn't offer a lot of help in terms of moving on. Similar Products
