I read this book because my ex husband was/is an alcoholic. He started drinking when he was a kid, and as an adult, he used alcohol to drown out any and every negative thing in his life. When he and I were together, I could never discuss anything important with him. Whether it was about our bills, or basically anything at all that made him even the slightest stressed, he would start drinking and within 20 minutes, the conversation would always abruptly end.He was also an angry drinker and would drag any and every issue from his past up when he was drinking. I always enjoyed it when he would finally just pass out. Although I always had to make sure everything stayed quiet so he would not wake up! I really enjoyed reading this book and seeing how difficult it was for Olivia to overcome her alcoholism. Its great to see that she worked really hard to change her life and be able to move forward. This is an excellent book for anyone who may want to know how alcoholism can affect someones life, and how truly difficult it can be to quit.
