Review # 1 was written on 2012-08-26 00:00:00 Andrea Canal This book is for formerly-alcoholic women who were sexually abused as children. None of those things apply to me, but I learnt some interesting things about alcoholism and the effects of growing up/living in a dysfunctional family. The language in this book is quite flowery and awkward at times; I probably should have abandoned this book and swapped to a more facts-based one. If you're in the target audience, I can't tell you if you should read this book because I don't actually know if it's helpful. If you're not in the target audience and just want to learn more about these issues, I'd recommend looking for a different book due to the language, narrow focus and repetitiveness of this one. A summary of what's covered: - 70 percent of alcoholic women were sexually abused as children (including rape and incest), and alcoholic women are more likely to experience abuse as adults. - In the process of becoming sober, these memories may resurface and you may experience guilt from the experiences themselves and your coping mechanisms (e.g. avoidance, codependency, promiscuity). - Address your past in therapy or a women's recovery group; don't try to avoid or deny it. - Learn who you are and to accept yourself. - Identify the problems in your family, and make sure you don't repeat those patterns. - Live in the moment rather than feeling guilty about the past or anxious about the future. - Sobriety is a long journey, especially when alcoholism was used to avoid memories of abuse. Don't try to rush your recovery.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-07-17 00:00:00 Jake Bellows Gah. This was awful. I was given this by a friend for some reason. She hadn't told me until after I read it that she wasn't able to finish it. It's great if you're an addict and want to blame something. This was always talking about alcohol and drug dependency and just... not for anyone else. Awful. And paints women as helpless for the most part. Though to be honest, about half way through I put it down for good. Don't read this. I'm probably going to throw this book into a sewer.
