Far too little is known about alcoholism and recovery from it.
Binge drinking and a myriad other related alcohol problems are
rampant. While a few of us know the differences between alcoholism
and alcohol abuse, we have all seen the harmful effects of
alcoholism and alcohol abuse. Beyond the damage they do to
themselves, heavy drinkers adversely affect their families, friends
and work colleagues. The demands on social and health care services
are seriously underestimated. Martin Noel-Buxton is himself an
alcoholic in recovery. Reflecting on his own experience, he
addresses the processes of change that can bring about recovery and
points to a new quality of life in recovery. Martin discusses the
vital differences between alcohol abuse and alcoholism, Alcoholics
Anonymous and its notion of spirituality, and considers the
effectiveness of talk therapies and other approaches to recovery.
The book illustrates how the individual alcoholic recovers from
alcoholism and explores the experience of those who become
alcoholic and who then find recovery. It covers treatment, relapse
and what works in bringing about and supporting recovery. The
author explains that recovery is far more than just stopping
drinking and he describes the complex processes of living life
beyond uncontrollable alcohol dependency. The book will prove
invaluable reading for individuals faced with confronting alcohol
problems, their friends and relations, their work colleagues,
health care professionals and those responsible for service
provision and policy development. It will be helpful to those
interested in addiction issues and in alcoholism in particular.
