Sober for Good: New Solutions for Drinking Problems--Advice from Those Who Have Succeeded

by Anne M Fletcher

Sober for Good: New Solutions for Drinking Problems--Advice from Those Who Have Succeeded Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Finally someone has gone straight to the real experts: hundreds of men and women who have resolved a drinking problem. The best-selling author Anne M. Fletcher asked them a simple question: how did you do it? The result is the first completely unbiased guide for problem drinkers, one that shatters long-held assumptions about alcohol recovery.

Myth: AA is the only way to get sober.

Reality: More than half the people Fletcher surveyed recovered without AA.

Myth: You can't get sober on your own.

Reality: Many people got sober by themselves.

Myth: One drink inevitably leads right back to the bottle.

Reality: A small number of people find they can have an occasional drink.

Myth: There's nothing you can do for someone with a drinking problem until he or she is ready.

Reality: Family and friends can make a big difference if they know how to help.

Weaving together the success stories of ordinary people and the latest scientific research on the subject, Fletcher uncovers a vital truth: no single path to sobriety is right for every individual. There are many ways to get sober - and stay sober. SOBER FOR GOOD is for anyone who has ever struggled not to drink, coped with someone who has a drinking problem, or secretly wondered, "Do I drink too much?"

Synopsis:

Includes bibliographical references (p. 303-310) and index.
