A very good start
The ideal book if you are beginning your journey of recovery due to alcoholics. It give many answers to initial questions. It does not give any lasting answers to the great mysteries of life but that is not its purpose anyway. So...a good start

shocked
About ten years ago I was in a book-store in Cambridge, Ma. and happened to browse through that book. Just reading a few questions and answers was one of the greatest shocks in my life. Reading the truth when you always thought that you are so strange, noone else can image, is not easy. I was hardly able to go to the cashier and pay for the book. This was the first day of a new life for me.If you are an ACoA you probably want to heal yourself by just reading the book. Don't do it. Yes, read the book. But then go out and make contact with other people. Go into therapy. It's never too late.

A good first read for an adult child of an alcoholic!
I have to agree with the reader from Florida! This book really opened my eyes. The characteristics of an acoa definitely described me! If you have never read a book on this topic, this book will open your eyes. It has a nice question and answer format, and a clear table of contents. However, I found myself saying, "yes, that's me.. and now what do I do"... but it sort of left me hanging there. I would have liked some steps to take to help me improve on some of my unfavorable behaviors. Similar Products
