Alcohol Abuse: Recoveroy for the Catholic Family (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780764828645)

Anger, fear, and despair reign when alcohol abuse is in charge. Chaos is the constant state of life of alcohol abusers and their loved ones. Life may feel hopeless. It is not. If you are mired in the morass of alcohol abuse, either as the one who drinks or as his or her loved one, this book about a path to recovery is for you.

As a longtime Catholic priest with extensive education in addiction counseling, Fr. Ted Lawson, CSsR, writes from a solid Catholic perspective. "My aim," he says in the preface, "is to define the crippling disease of alcoholism, describe its impact on the family, and offer ideas for how to get help. I pray that it's useful."
