I have had good friends who I saw every day struggling in relationships with alcoholic husbands and wives. I have seen them in pain and depression with doubt and hurt feelings gnawing at them from the inside every moment of every day. I have seen them go from happy, open, communicative people to dark, quiet, defeated zombies and cried for them on the inside... The frustration and anger these people held within was apparent in every, single thing they did and said. "Rancor" like that is self-poisoning. It makes a person more and more bitter every day until, pretty soon, they're suffering from stress-related illnesses that rob them of their ability to rebound and get healthy again. .. "Coping With An Alcoholic Spouse" teaches people in that same situation that they can't change their spouse, they can only change the way they approach  dealing with their spouse and how much they allow their spouse to negatively affect them and their state of mind. The book gives positive actions people in close relationships with alcoholics can take day-by-day to begin to heal psychologically and emotionally. In short, it teaches them how to "let go and let God".and begin to take their first baby-steps toward a calmer, happier, more forgiving state of mind..
