Great Ideas

Where does Alcoholic Spouse: Coping with an Alcoholic Husband or Wife rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

The sound and content were very good.

What did you like best about this story?

The condensed quality information.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When the author asked if anything I'd done over the past few years to try and make the alcoholic quit drinking had actually made my spouse stop drinking. Nothing I've tried has made him quit. Then the author suggested to stop doing something that was only making me frustrated.

Wonderful!

This book was informative, perfectly paced, and easy to understand. Just the right amount of information for each day and the narrator's voice is soothing to listen to. Well done!

this helped my heart

i will listen to the audio book every day. my husband is an alcoholic and i have no time to attend al anon meetings during the week. so i appreciate this book beyond words.

Alcoholic Spouse

Seem to have some good recommendations. It's a 31 day plan, I will try and follow some of the suggestions

Good Practical Info

This did help me to see the disease as the problem and not just the person.

Quick read but good content

The read was done fast but it was an okay book that lasted a half hour. I would have liked to have learned more.

A no-nonsense approach to a difficult subject

Any additional comments?

This book deals with a difficult topic very thoughtfully. it isn't fraught with emotion, it's very factual. Often the focus of alcoholic support is on the alcoholic themselves, so it's nice to see some help for spouses of alcoholics as they suffer as much, if not more. This book would also be of use to other family members, friends and colleagues of an alcoholic. It is split up into handy manageable chunks, as a 31 day plan. Of course you can work your way through slower if you like. The content is down-to-earth and practical. From providing the best support, to avoiding arguments. It will teach you to take care of yourself as well as your spouse. I was gifted a copy of this book - all opinions are my own.

Great info

This was a quick audio but full of information. I will help me to communicate or not communicate with the alcoholics in my life better. the instructions help reprogram my thinking an response! Thank you
