5.0 out of 5 stars The book of my life & my family, November 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: From Survival to Recovery: Growing Up in an Alcoholic Home (Hardcover)

If you, as a child, young adult or parent, have experienced the challenges of an alcoholic or drug addictive home this is a MUST READ. I gained insight into the behavior patterns and character defects that were created by my family life. The stories shared are touching and inspiring.

This review is from: From Survival to Recovery: Growing Up in an Alcoholic Home (Hardcover)

this was a wonderful book,it was so painful to read ,but so real,with out these stories that validated my own pain of growing up in my own family...where i felt so alone and abandoned and so out of control, this book helped me see that if i didnt work this stuff out in my own life that i would live it out and recreate the same scene in my own life..out of my aloneness and abandonment issues i would put this on other people and have the same expectations of them as i did of my family of original and those needs would not be meet because i was not healthy enough to find someone that was available as only the inavailable was attractive to me ...as i was also looking for someone to rescue and caretake just as i had learnt in my family..or i would find someone to rescue me..this book stopped me enough to get honest,and as without anything in life there is no gain without pain ..what a book...what a journey..the truth does set you free.have the courage to read this book it is amazing...its not about blame its about recovery..

5.0 out of 5 stars This book opened up alot of doors for me.., February 27, 1999

This review is from: From Survival to Recovery: Growing Up in an Alcoholic Home (Hardcover)

I can't believe how much of my childhood, I had hid, and I much I could not heal and grow until Icame into al-anon. This book made me take a good look at how growing up in an alcoholic home has effected me, and how it led me to an alcoholic marriage... I am truly grateful for coming upon this book, it has helped me tremendously in my paths to recovery. AMY
