Book excerpt: Because Doug has repeatedly rescued Gayle, she’s managed to finish college and hold down a decent job. But now, as her blackouts become more frequent and severe, Doug wonders if his helping is really helping. Jill’s alcoholic husband, Roger, is about to lose his job. Roger’s secret problem weighs so heavily on Jill that suicide seems a tempting solution. A pastor supports his hidden addiction to alcohol by stealing from his family and his church. How long can he hide his secret trips out of town, the private cache of alcohol in the parsonage, and the symptoms of his drunkenness and hangovers? • Why do people abuse alcohol, and how do they become alcoholics? • Why do problem drinkers continue to drink even when it gets them into so much trouble? • Can’t problem drinkers see what they’re doing to themselves and the people who love them? • What can you do to help someone you love stop drinking? • How can you cope with all the craziness that your troubled friend brings into your life? Problem Drinking addresses these questions and more. Those who struggle in relating to an alcoholic will welcome this heartfelt encouragement and advice. Background information and a thorough resource section make Problem Drinking valuable to a helping friend.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1987, Helping the Problem Drinker addressed the realisation that only a small proportion of problem drinkers ever contacted existing treatment agencies, and that therefore a more comprehensive community-oriented approach should be developed. This included training of primary care health workers and the development of multidisciplinary Community Alcohol Teams. At the time other community-based initiatives such as self-help groups for early problem drinkers and early intervention programmes in general practice and general hospitals, had been implemented. This book draws together what had been learned about these new developments, a number of which had now been evaluated. The book will still be of interest to all planners and professional staff concerned with alcohol problems: both specialists and non-specialists in general medicine, psychiatry, psychology and the social services.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Determine if your drinking is a problem, develop strategies for curbing your intake, and measure your progress with this practical, engaging guide to taking care of yourself. Every day, millions of people drink a beer or two while watching a game, shake a cocktail at a party with friends, or enjoy a glass of wine with a good meal. For more than 30 percent of these drinkers, alcohol has begun to have a negative impact on their everyday lives. Yet, only a small number are true alcoholics--people who have completely lost control over their drinking and who need alcohol to function. The great majority are what Dr. Doyle and Dr. Nowinski call "Almost Alcoholics," a growing number of people whose excessive drinking contributes to a variety of problems in their lives.In Almost Alcoholic, Dr. Doyle and Dr. Nowinski give the facts and guidance needed to address this often unrecognized and devastating condition. They provide the tools toidentify and assess your patterns of alcohol use;evaluate its impact on your relationships, work, and personal well-being;develop strategies and goals for changing the amount and frequency of alcohol use;measure the results of applying these strategies; andmake informed decisions about your next steps.
