Recovery: A Guide for Adult Children of Alcoholics

Herbert L. Gravitz, Julie D. Bowden

Fireside, 1987

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. ...

I wish i read it erlier
THE ADULT CHILDREN OF ALCOHOLICS SYNDROME by Wayne Kritsberg It's a very helpfull book. Unlike so many other books on this issue it is very clear and well-organized. It is just a pleasure to read it. I am going to use some extracts from this book in my thesis paper on co-dependency. The books which i read before mostly described the emotions of the authors, since most of the books on ...

Benei Noaj, 2007

This book has saved hundreds of thousands of liveslives!
This book tells exactly how hundreds of thousands of real alcoholics have been saved from alcoholism. How can anyone be critical of that if it works? Only the stupid, or ignorant can criticize a book which has literally saved so many people from certain death (not to mention the thousands more they could have victimized). It is truly a miracle, by virtue of all of the people it has saved. True, ...

Alcoholics Anonymous has never been on any best seller list, but it has sold over 20 million copies. This is good reason to take seriously what the authors say in this book. I can add my ...

"How it works..."
If you have/have had a problem with alcohol, this is the book to read. The AA program has "worked" for millions of people, since 1935, when other tried means did not. For the guy who said the chapter, "To the Wives," is a sexist piece of trash: Use your brains, buddy. It describes the alcoholic, whether male or female, and how their ("politically correct") significant others can cope. I'm a ...

Devastatingly Beautiful
I can remember very clearly that day in '75 when my dad came home from the grocery store with an enormous green jug of some kind of liquid and I, being only ten years old, innocently asked him, "What's that dad?" He just kind of smiled a me and said, "Oh, that? That's joy juice, Johnny." I just kind of laughed it off. By the time I was fifteen years old I began to notice how quickly that ...

Filled in the gaps
I have been in substance abuse counseling and AA on and off for a few years. Recently I began researching alternatives to the 12-step approach in secular organizations such as SOS and non-AA affiliated books such as "Rational Recovery." This was one of the books I chose to read and I'm very happy I did. Written by a medical doctor and experienced researcher, the book brings together a lot of ...

I first read this book 25 years ago when I was entangled in my family of "executive drinkers"- -and found that I was repeatedly dating and working with alcoholics.The theory of the origins of alcoholism may or may not be accurate. What saved my life was reading the scripts. They describe the behavior of the alcoholic, those around her/him, and the inevitable results of denial.I saw myself, my ...

AA Services

Anonymous Press (WA), 1999

Hope
Some people have sobered up, merely by reading the Big Book. That start, and the HOPE offered in these pages, can be the beginning of a New Life, if the Alcoholic is willing to become honest, open, and willing to talk to others about his problem with alcohol. The Big Book points out that alcohol is merely the symptom of a much deeper problem, an almost undefinable and non-specific spiritual ...
