The BEST on this Subject

The book is extremely comprehensive and well written, the best I have found on this subject. Its material has been very extensively researched. I am grateful to Dale for chapter two that provided me with a personal introspect of "The Alcoholic Mind", it helped tremendously to understand where all this came from in me, and for what I will always need to be on guard.

The BEST on this Subject

Material for the book has been very, very extensive researched. The book is extremely comprehensive and well written. It is the best book I have found on this subject. I thought it was written about me personally.

The best recovery book on the market.

Although I have never met the author of this book, I felt as though I had. I, myself, have experienced the same feelings of desperation and remorse and finally was able to find the path of hope to a truly meaningful way of life. I would suggest this book, not only to the person who questions whether or not he/she is an alcoholic, or even to the person is 100% sure. I would suggest it to anyone who been affected by the disease, and is in search of answers to questions that baffle us all. Thanks to the author for helping me to be a little more honest with myself.

Enlightening!

Dale Mitchel has put into words the exact issues that puzzle so many people who do not understand the disease of alcoholism. As he mentions, those that are not alcoholic may never understand, but his book describes in simple english what goes on in the mind of the alcoholic. I would (and have) recommend this book to anybody interested in learning about the disease of alcoholism.

A book that leads to understanding

If you think that someone has a problem with alcohol they probably do. Alcoholism is a desease that effects everyone around it. I know I have a friend that has the desease, this book brought the desease to light for me. It has helped me deal with the problems someone close to me has and this book has helped him to see the light and start to deal with his problem. This book is the reason there is hope for him and an understanding for those that live and support him. I can't recommend this book enough.
