Title: Denial of Alcoholism
Review: Ms. Kishline's perspective is much the same as many problem drinkers/alcoholics. Most do not WANT to be alcoholic, and groups like Moderation Management give them the reason to drink they are looking for. Drinking alcoholically is a grave danger in society. Kishline found AA to be disagreeable, because in the state of denial, alcoholics do not want to stop drinking, and most cannot--without a spiritual power of guidance. Unfortunately for her, and for the family whose father and daughter were killed as a result of her drunken driving, her life is now unmanageable. This book does NOT propose abstinance for the chronically sick alcoholic--now we have seen the results in the author's life. The words "moderation" and "management" can hardly be associated in the same sentence with the word "alcoholism." Alcoholic people cannot "manage" their drinking or responsibly "moderate" the amount of alcohol they consume.
