I felt so all alone when my partner was having problems with alcohol.  Just reading the beginning of the book made me realize I was not the only one sitting back watching this horrible life story take place.  Every heading in the first chapter was in my life.An important point I took away from just the opening chapter is this behavior stays with them even after they give up drinking.  Now I’m not on the defensive so much and I handle the “dry drunk” comments a whole lot better because now I understand where the behavior has come from.I had to change the way I behaved when he drank and this book helped me see how my involvement when he was drunk was only perpetuating the arguments.There is so much more in this book. Read it and learn.  Spouse, friend, co-worker, sibling or parent. Any time you have to interact with someone who is drinking you need to be prepared.
