Just getting started

I've only gotten through the very beginning of the book, simply because, ironically, I can't find enough 'me time' to read anymore of it. But from what I have read, I have found myself saying, 'oh I thought it was me' and 'I'm not crazy, this is what really happens'. I do think it's a truthful and helpful book.
I also wonder how I will survive with just half of a husband, and I feel so alone most of the time, that is after he disappears and becomes his evil alter-ego. The dependence on me is so heavy and debilitating, I just want to disappear myself so I can have some peace. I know it's a disease just like MS or cancer, and no I wouldn't abandon him if he had one of those, but I do feel trapped. I often want my lonely life back. At least then I had control.

A good place to start...

This book is a good place to start when you realize there need to be changes in your life -- especially when you are married to an alcohol abuser. While not everything in the book was tailored to my situation, I found the information to be helpful and insightful. The style of writing is a bit casual, but I think that is purposeful to keep the reader involved. I plan to purchase the books about adult children of alcoholics by the same author.

Learning experience

This book helped me understand my husband imensely. I guess you could say I had a light bulb moment when I read it. It was very easy reading and I finished the entire book in just a few hours. I have hope now where I didn't before and I am very understanding of my husbands actions now. I also realized that I myself needed to change and have a different attitude. Anyone with an alcoholic spouse will definitely benefit from reading this book and I think it's best if you own it so you can look back on it from time to time when you are questioning your situation. I highlighted things in it that I could relate to. So it's nice to be able to go back and look at those things.

GREAT

If you know an alcoholic, or especially if you are a woman taking care of an alcoholic man who is constantly ruining your life, BUY THIS BOOK. It will make you cry with acknoledgement that your life is taken over by this DEVIL called alcoholism. You learn that alcoholism is the eternal excuse for the guy who ruins your life and you are stuck with the raw pain. This book is a slap in the face, a wake up call, a new realization.
