No. You're Not Crazy. The Person You Love Is Probably an Alcoholic.

You've been blindsided by lies, deception, denial, a life of chaos, and experienced Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. You've hidden bottles, poured out the alcohol, and begged your loved one not to drink. Don't despair. There is hope. This survival guide will help you understand the nature of the disease of alcoholism, alcoholic behavior, codependency, the difference between enabling and caring, the alcoholic family relationships and how you can regain control of your life. In understanding alcoholism and your alcoholic loved one, you can come to a place of peace and love for yourself and for your alcoholic loved one, and ultimately win the battle of addiction. Whether you are new to addiction and recovery, an Adult Child of an Alcoholic, or have an alcoholic spouse, this book will help you embrace your own recovery and uncover the meaning of sobriety. Inside this book, you will not only read facts about alcoholism, but you will also experience stories from six recovering alcoholics that are candid, upfront, honest and telling.
