It helped a lot!!

This book helped me to understand my situation better. I had been assigned to write about Alcoholism and it's effects on families in my English Comp. I class. As a coincidence, my uncle is an alcoholic. I got this book and not only did it help me with my paper but it made me understand that my uncle can't help what has happened to him. He is chemically dependant on it. He had become dependant on the alcohol to deal with everyday situations and interactions. I would recomend this book to anybody who knows or once knew an alcoholic. It will make you want to go and give them a hug, and reassure them.
