Review: Improving awareness of HFA can only be a good thing – this book does just that.

This book highlights through the medium of short stories and narrative examples, some of the types of behavior that typify a high-functioning alcoholic, showing their (and others) inability to recognize the condition, how it can impair moral judgment  and lead to a lifestyle where poverty and ill-health are the keynotes of old-age. Gray-Nomad’s skillful writing combines these cautionary and eye-opening tales, with practical advice and motivational ideas as to how to beat alcohol dependency – try giving up alcohol to raise money for a charity for example. I found this an interesting introduction to the subject and while it doesn’t offer an exhaustive overview of all symptoms, help or solutions, it doesn’t actually set out to do that! The author offers personal tips which suggest that they have a more than passing understanding of the subject and now take the time and make the effort to offer assistance to other, via this book. Respect for doing that. I would certainly recommend this book to someone who want to improve their awareness.
