How Al-Anon Works

This is the original "Big Book" written for friends and family of alcoholics. It informs the reader about the Al-Anon Program...its 12 Steps, 12 Traditions, and 12 Concepts. It also presents true stories written by real members about their life situations and how the Program helped them. Many people have alcoholics in their life...perhaps a family member, a co-worker, a friend, or just an acquaintance, whose behavior is beyond our comprehension. This book can give compassion, hope, and understanding for a disease that is cunning and baffling. I heartily recommend it.

Inspirational stories and helpful advice for those dealing with problem drinkers. Doesn't tell you how to get a drinker to stop, but how to get your life back when the drinker seems to control it. Not preachy, not pushing any particular religion. But the program, and the book, are spiritual. Let go and let God.

Great, gentle approach to becoming aware, addressing, and resolving much of our crap through anecdotal tales that truly works within you just by reading.

Very helpful for any one suffering from the affects of someone else's drinking. Hard to say I love it, only because I would rather not have to read; but sometimes life deals you a much different hand than you expected. I joined an Al-Anon group, it has helped me immensely!! Finding the courage to walk thru that door was the best thing I could do for myself.And you need to take care of yourself!

This is my most useful AlAnon book. Very glad to get it on Kindle. The one I have does not have a link in the menu to go to table of contents. This can be managed. Once I found the ToC, the links work and I leave the book set to ToC when I close it in the Kindle. If I could only carry one AlAnon book, this is the one I would carry. It covers the steps, traditions, contains an opening, and has enough AlAnon stories that most of us can find ideas about our own needed solutions.

I have found this helpful to understand the disease. I purchased this for more knowledge and as a way to learn how to better support a loved one.

For anyone who goes to Al-Anon, this is the first book you should get. It explains the program in a way that really gets you, and if you are someone whose life has been affected by alcohol or drugs, you really ought to read this book.

This book is meant foe anyone suffering from the sickness of alcoholism or is effected in any way by the alcoholics life. All of those people should read this book over and over.

If you have been affected by someone else's drinking, this is the book for you Plus get to Al-Anon meetings

The book helps you look at your part in your relationship with the addict . . Take responsibility for what is yours and not what belongs to others.

Please, if you were looking for a sign: buy the book. Just give it a try. It is worth it.

I gave this to a friend who needed support in understanding her family dysfunction and just started attending Al Anon meetings. She found it very helpful.
