About
Details
"While the alcoholic lies passed out, anesthetized, the family goes through the years of his drinking - stark, raving sober. Their world is like no sane family's world. They believe lies, expect miracles, have him locked up, bail him out, wish he were dead, and pray that he gets home safely." "If the spouse of the alcoholic changes his or her behavior, as outlined in this book, the alcoholic has an 80 percent better chance to get sober." - from the Introduction
