Review: Hope and Love and Faith, LIving with an Alcoholic Husband
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 12 9, 2012
Having seen what alcohol and drugs can do to a personality and how an adict's personality can flip from being loving one minute to abusive the next, and seeing how co-dependency functions, I hesitated opening this book. I didn't want to find an unnerving personality sketch of an anguished, lost soul.What I found was an enormous surprise. While all the negatives of living with an alcoholic were clearly outlined in the author's personal story, the innocence and deep faith of the Carol Mills made the content sing. While she describes her life with her alcoholic spouse, there was always the strong conviction that all would work out in the end. This book is a emotional roller coaster, a rapid page turner, but a beautiful testimony to the fantastic, giving people there are in the world, the help the author received, along with her willingness to accept it - a brave and beautiful testimony to a courageous lady who not only overcame her own limitations, but rescued herself and her three daughters from a dangerous situation.Other books by the same author that offer practical step-by-step guides include:How to Live with an Alcoholic and SurviveGet Over Your Breakup Without Going Crazy
