Publisher's Synopsis
Alcohol addiction is a complex condition. Most people start drinking for leisure, to beat boredom or anxiety, to socialize or to escape some challenge. Unintentionally, some slip into alcoholism and once addiction sets in, the recovery process is a long and difficult journey. Luckily, any behavior that is learned can be reversed when one is determined. This handbook; Stay Sober: Preventing Relapse after Rehabilitation from Alcohol Addition is a culmination of research, expert opinion and many years of training in preventive counseling. Since relapse to alcoholism after rehabilitation is a reality, this book discusses the support and encouragement required of family members, friends, relatives as well as the immediate community to help the recovering person lead a fulfilled live.
