He wearily sets about trying to figure out once again what he can do to help her stop drinking. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaving rejected all his other suggestions, Jill eventually agrees to go to AA. However, this comes at a price. She spends more and more times at meetings and falls increasingly under the influence of her 12-step sponsor, Laura.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlthough she apparently manages to stop drinking, Jill begins to isolate herself from her family and friends, and her closest relationships are put under increasing strain. At first Vinnie tries to support her in her efforts to follow the programme, but inwardly he struggles with the effect her behaviour is having on their small, close-knit family. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDaughter Rosie shares her innermost thoughts in her diary. At first, her lively commentary focuses on the usual teenage stuff: friendships, school, boys, her little sister Holly, and her football team. But eventually her mother's 'working' of her programme affects her life in a way neither of them could have imagined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stella O'Shea\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798583139705\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/17\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.78d","brand":"Stella O'Shea","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49168031875327,"sku":"9798583139705","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-programme-stella-oshea-9798583139705","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
