HELP! I'm Living with an Alcoholic: A Guide to Surviving, Thriving, and Reclaiming Your Life"

"If you loved me you would stop!" Is an understandable statement example from a spouse who is married to an alcoholic. It's no surprise to hear me say, 'it's not as simple as that'. There are no excuses, but there are many things that alcoholics in counselling are told, but the spouse is left floundering and struggling to understand what is going on.

So you're either an alcoholic with a spouse that you need to support you to get well.
Or
You're a loved one of an alcoholic and need know how to help them, support and protect yourself and understand exactly what addiction is and why it causes the behaviors it does.

THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU!

Best selling author Peter Willis went through years of alcohol abuse, detox centres (and more) and he was married. After coming out on the other side and writing his best selling book "Help! I'm an Alcoholic" he and his wife noticed there were very few books and help available for the spouses of alcoholics. Oh yes, they kept hearing the phrases "Alcohol is a family illness', but everything was directed at the addict.

What about the spouse?
What about the children?
What do you do for right? Are you an enabler? How do you save yourself and your children, never mind the alcoholic?

Mary (Peter's wife) recognised all of this, and in the end, needed her own therapy to recover. So they both wrote this book - ESPECIALLY FOR YOU - the spouse (male or female).
