I always knew my brother had a "drinking problem" but when the word "alcoholism" was mentioned recently I struggled to wrap my mind around it. There are so many stereotypes and unhelpful opinions in this space, some of which I am guilty of myself. For the spare change in your pocket, this book really over-delivered for me. It contextualized the problem, giving me insight and a some actionable approaches to discuss the problem in my family.This resource is MORE than worth the money. Part of helping someone with alcoholism means making a committment (as a support person) to understanding the problem and learning how to help constructively. This book really did that for me.
