This is the MAIN book for group studys and Newcomers to read...It describes what has been going on inside the alcoholic home to a T and once you start reading it, the light comes on inside and you can relate and begin to understand what is wrong and how to make things better for YOUSELF! A Must read for help in recovery!!

Great resource book to help yourself and the ones you love that have this disease. It helps you understand the disease and how to cope with the disease.

This is a very helpful self-help guide for families/friends of alcoholics. It covers traits and behaviors of alcoholics, our part in it, and offers solutions via the 12 steps. We learn awareness, the part we play in this family disease, detachment, love and forgiveness. Most importantly, we learn that we have choices. The book provides case studies that let us know we are not alone. I bought this book after attending two Al-Anon meetings. There is a long line of alcoholism in my and my husband's families.

Being an Al-Anon for 5+ years now, I didn't have this particular book and the cost new is close to $20.00. I have gained so much from the literature that is offered by the World Service Office in Virginia Beach, VA. that I decided to add another book to my reading collection. This book comes highly recommended as a new and fresh way of looking at life on lifes terms, letting go of the past, and starting a new way of thinking. Couldn't hurt to read it!

This book was recently bought for a Al-anon group to put in their library. The book is designed to help family and friends of alcoholics. It is how ever a self help book but has a lot of information on the affects of the disease alcoholism. The book was written by the author of Alcoholics Anonymous, Bill Wilson's wife Lois. How Al-anon Works has many suggestions on how to overcome the affects of alcoholism. Many men and women have been affected to the brink of insanity. With the help from this book and its suggestions you can overcome these affects. I would reccomend this book to anyone that has been affected by this mind boggling disease.

Seller shipped item fast and included a "bonus" book for free!! Couldn't say enough great things about them.

I am part of an al-anon group and decided to purchase new books. This is a great book. I am still reading everyday, and will continue to read this book. It has been very helpful already.
