And for each alcohol abuser there is usually a family who suffers, too. Now, with Bottled Up, these families can equip themselves to survive the difficulty of caring for a loved one. Covering such useful topics as: Does my drinker have a problem? Why "business as usual" won't work; Barriers to change and breakthroughs; Surviving the emotional roller coaster; How to get support; Reconciliation and recovery. This book will help you support yourself and your loved ones through the difficulties of alcohol abuse and recovery - and enable you to keep your sanity along the way.
