DESCRIPTION:
"Veronica Valli has written one of the clearest, most fascinating & truly helpful books on addiction I've ever read.
Too Afraid To Quit Drinking I will probably read this book a couple of times before I am sober. It helped me to understand why I drink and why I feel I can't stop. I don't think I want to stop, at least not right now. I am afraid, which I didn't realize before reading the book that fear is the primary reason why I drink.Of course, I don't consider myself an alcoholic (who does?), but I know I need to do something. I do not want to hit rock bottom before I decide to make a change. I enjoyed Veronica's writing style and her personal accounts and . Great help Dominick Macchiarella Loved the book it has served as a great tool to understand a lot about alcoholism. Not a substitute for the big book but still a valuable tool for recovery. Best wishes. Kindle Customer said Four Stars. It was ok.
At last, a book that reveals why alcoholics think, feel and behave the way they do. This book looks into the heart and mind of the alcoholic; it explains their thought processes, how they feel and why they behave so self-destructively. Written by an addictions therapist and recovered alcoholic, it answers the question that every alcoholic and their loved ones have always asked, 'Why do I/they drink this way?'. It then goes on to offer a solution by explaining how alcoholism is a three part disease: a physical addiction, a psychological craving and obsession, and a spiritual illness, all of which have to be dealt with, especially the little understood spiritual component. This book, written in easy to understand language, isn't prescriptive but offers a deep understanding of the vital components that drive an alcoholic - and this in turn illuminates the way out. Tired and frustrated in trying to help someone who seems to just want to drink their life away? This book will help you understand what they are thinking and feeling and therefore why they drink the way they do. It is simply a must read for any struggling alcoholic and their loved ones.
