On the surface, this book is about a major part of people's recovery from alcoholism, other chemical dependence, and co-dependence. Below the surface, it is about a major part of anyone's recovery from dependence upon or attachment to anything, with recovery being but a model. Indeed, there are numerous conditions that cause suffering to our daily lives.Handling them can be viewed in a helpful way through the physical, mental and spiritual approach described in this book. To help relieve suffering, we can begin to view this suffering as related to our addictions - as the Western world often calls them, or our attachments - as the Eastern world tends to describe them. We become addicted or attached to the way we think things should be. This includes not only our physical possessions, but our relationships and even our personality. In this book I describe an approach to the successful recovery from alcoholism/CD that extends beyond abstinence. This approach is also helpful for the stress and suffering of the family of the alcoholic/CD.

More than 100 widespread myths about drug and alcohol abuse are enumerated and then dispelled in this book about the reality of addiction. Questions such as Does proper parenting and involvement prevent alcoholism? and Do alcoholics lack willpower? are addressed, and a myriad of addiction-related falsities that the general public and even medical professionals have considered true are identified and refuted. Specific attention is paid to defining and understanding alcohol addiction, including guidelines on identifying symptoms of alcoholism in social settings and detailed information on the biological difference between the disease in its early and late stages.

God and Alcoholism presents a new challenge for the 21st Century. It is a study of the original and highly successful spiritual recovery program of early Alcoholics Anonymous and the changes that have occurred in the last six decades since the founding. It presents the seven specifics, the "musts," and the "not required" features of the pioneer program. It points to A.A.'s merits and accomplishments in the 20th Century, particularly its success through reliance on the Creator, its pride in producing "cures," and its challenges to finding definitions for "alcoholism." Next, the author describes the enormous emphasis early AAs placed on the power of Almighty God, the views of scholars about that, and the Biblical assurances of help from the "Heavenly Father." Then there is a review of the "nonsense gods" of recovery and the wide attraction they've had for therapists, 12 Steppers, clergy, psychologists, and others. The author concludes with a challenge to eliminate! the dismal recovery rate today by recalling, re-affirming, and reinstating the God-centered program of the Founders, Bill W. and Dr. Bob.

With Reading Alcoholisms, Jane Lilienfeld has produced a ground-breaking cross-disciplinary study using the social, psychological, and scientific literature on alcoholism and family alcoholism to examine the novels of Hardy, Joyce, and Woolf. Each of these authors was directly affected by the alcoholism of a family member or mentor, and Lilienfeld shows how the effects of alcoholism organized their texts: through the portrayal of a protagonist in The Mayor of Casterbridge, through the denial of parental alcoholism and its silent presence in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, and through codependent reactive patterns of Mrs. and Mr. Ramsay in To the Lighthouse. With the remarkable empathy Lilienfeld has for human dimensions of alcoholism, she demonstrates that "the narrative strategies in each of these novels at times mimic the behaviors and feeling states often arising from alcoholism." Without an understanding of the multidimensional nature of alcoholism and the transmission of its effects across generations, any analysis of the work of these three literary giants is incomplete.
