After dealing superficially with my own depression, I finally read this book and started confronting some of the issues in my life that were rooted in my upbringing with an alcoholic parent. This was a break-through point in working toward my own healing. Very readable. Not a lot of psychobabble.

I gave this book to someone whom I care very much about as their mother is an alcoholic. The recipient read it and told me that it had really helped them cope with their issues.

I bought this book to help a very dear person who was going through difficult times. Before giving it to her I read it, I could not put it away, helped me a lot making me understand many things about people that are related to alcholics by family, friendship or work.

This is a great refresher for individuals who suffer the effects of living in an alcoholic home.
