There are many situations in which living with an alcoholic is unavoidable; or you simply wish to be there for them out of love. This book is great to help you understand the best ways to live with an alcoholic without loosing your mind or your faith in them. The book makes it clear that the only person who can change the alcoholic is the alcoholic and therefore if you want to help them, you must simply be there for them. The book teaches you how to deal with them gracefully, as well as not hold it against yourself for their problems or behaviors. The book also teaches you want common signs and behaviors of alcoholics are, because the more informed you are the better you can handle the situation. Picked this up to help council a friend and I think it will truly help. I know she wants to be there for her spouse, but it is hard knowing that he has such a problem. The book also discusses tough love and how to deal with ultimatums which will really help her out.
