Review title: I used this book as justification to resume drinking
Product review: after a year of sobriety, including two months of AA meetings in the beginning of that year.When it was time to drink again, I found his book and read it, and quoted it to my wife to get her to agree to let me drink again, though only beer and wine, of course.Fingarette is correct: there are very heavy drinkers who are NOT alcoholics. They just drink a lot. If they stop drinking, or cut down, drink-related problems go away.But if you are a real alcoholic, alcohol is not your problem. If alcohol is your problem, you are not an alcoholic.I've given it a lot of thought in the 15 years since I made it back (almost didn't) to the sober world.
