Alcoholism is the only disease known to man in which the longer you have it, the more it convinces you that you do not. Its stereotype is such that most people do not recognize it until it is too late. Seeking to help address the disease in male teens, The Male Teenager's Nine Late Signs of Alcoholism presents the third and final volume in the ALERT (Actual Learning Examples of Recognizing Trouble) series, written by Becki Bateman with Dave Payne. This informative, easy-to-read guide provides examples that can help teens determine whether they might have a serious drinking problem, offering a detailed explanation of the signs of late stage alcoholism. This series seeks to guide male teenagers through recognizing all three stages of alcoholism and assisting them in determining if they need help. Teens have a tough time accepting the fact that they might be alcoholics, especially teenage boys; what's more, even if they realize they have a problem with alcohol, they often don't know where to turn to get the help. This guide provides critical information such as everyday situations that might indicate problems and resources for teens looking for help. The ALERT series-aimed not only at teens but also at their parents, friends, relatives, or anyone who may have a problem with alcohol-can get teens the help they need before it's too late.
Teens have a tough time accepting the fact that they might be alcoholics, especially teenage boys. The Male Teenager's Nine Early Signs of Alcoholism, the first book in the ALERT (Actual Learning Examples of Recognizing Trouble) series is informative and easy to read, providing examples of behaviors in teens that might indicate a potential drinking problem. Drinking alcohol is very prevalent in our society. Yet many people still believe the stereotype of alcoholics as adults who are in chronic stage alcoholism. No one begins at chronic stage alcoholism; it takes time to get to that point. What's more, each alcoholic in turn affects five to eight people-family, friends, and anyone else with whom they come in contact. Thus it is even more important to provide access to this valuable information to young people from as young as third grade and through high school and college, insuring they are fully aware of the root causes of alcoholism. This guide fully explains the early signs of alcoholism in male teenagers and the steps that can be taken to get them help. By making this book available not only to teens but also to their parents, friends, relatives, neighbors, or anyone who may have a problem with alcohol, they can get help to beat teen alcoholism before it's too late.
Many people still carry a stereotypical image of who an alcoholic is and what he or she does. The trouble is that this stereotype applies to only the chronic stage of alcoholism-a stage that only represents 3 percent of the alcoholic population. What about the other 97 percent? In The Male Teenager's 9 Middle Signs of Alcoholism, authors Becki Bateman with Dave Payne explore the fact that while many teens would be part of that 97 percent, most have a tough time accepting the fact that they might be alcoholics. One in ten people who drink in the US are alcoholics-approximately 17.6 million people. What's more, each alcoholic directly affects five to eight people, including their mothers, fathers, husbands, wives, children, closest relatives, and friends. The Male Teenager's 9 Middle Signs of Alcoholism is the second book in the ALERT (Actual Learning Examples to Recognize Trouble) series, and it continues where volume one ended by providing more examples of behaviors in teens that might indicate that they have a potential drinking problem. These guides are informative and easy to read, offering resources and explaining where and how to get help. Designed for use not only by teens but also by parents, friends, or anyone concerned about helping a friend or loved one, this guide provides the help needed to beat teen alcoholism before it's too late.
