Excellent resource for dealing with an alcoholic....,
By A Customer
This review is from: I'll Quit Tomorrow: A Practical Guide to Alcoholism Treatment (Paperback)
This book is great at helping non-alcoholics understand alcoholics/addicts. Particulary the mind-set of the addicted person. It has great tools for family/friends. There are ways to help another person get help and hit bottom. Through love and compassion. I highly recommend this to anyone who is stuggling with trying to help someone who doesn't know they have a problem or doesn't want help. I wish you the best. - someone whose been on both sides and found the way out :)

I recommend this book as a primer on Alcoholism.,

This review is from: I'll Quit Tomorrow: A Practical Guide to Alcoholism Treatment (Paperback)
This book, for me, answered the question: How do people who "know better" become alcoholics. The most profound concept in Johnson's book, in my opinion, was that people cannot become alcoholics unless their behaviors conflict with their value system. Johnson does an excellent job of theorizing the steps individuals take that lead them down the path of alcoholism. This book is a must read for alcoholics and those who love them.

Important and helpful,
By A Customer
This review is from: I'll Quit Tomorrow: A Practical Guide to Alcoholism Treatment (Paperback)
This is a simply written, clear explanation of the disease of alcoholism. It is very difficult to understand the compulsion to drink if you haven't experienced it firsthand. This book will help those trying to understand the struggle, as well as those unsure if they are in the struggle. I also recommend it to non-recovering clinicians who are dealing with addicts in their work
