Title: A Doctor's Sensible Approach to Alcohol and Alcoholism
Description: Your doctor recognizes "the battle of the bottle" as a major battle, a real war, a detestful situation for over seven million men and women in the United States and Canada. Your doctor urges you to help these people win their battle. First of all, read this book and absorb the facts. Learn once and for all that alcoholism is a disease, an insidious, treacherous, sneaky disease. As long as people refuse to recognize it as such, those who are afflicted and their loved ones will be so ashamed that they will hide it, deny it, seclude it and thus deprive it of the medical and psychological treatment that it so desperately needs. Secondly, pass this book on to others: to friends, fellow employees, students, servicemen and relatives. The sooner people recognize the disease of alcoholism and show compassion and understanding for those afflicted, the sooner will progress be made in treating and controlling the disease. The battle of the bottle will be won when society rallies to the support of the afficted individual. - Flyleaf.
