Showing titles in Alcoholism

Matt Salis is a husband, a father, a hard worker and a cheerful neighbor with a strong faith and a respectable reputation. But he had a secret that was killing him slowly, and it threatened to take away everything. Matt was a high-functioning alcoholic, and along with his wife, Sheri, they were holding on by their fingernails. AA was not a good fit, and he didn’t have time for inpatient rehab. Sobriety was a necessary prerequisite, but it was an incomplete solution.

Frauen trinken anders. Viel und zum Teil harten Alkohol zu konsumieren, ist für Frauen heute selbstverständlich. Sie trinken, um zu feiern, dazuzugehören und cool zu sein. Aber auch funktional, um Sorgen, Überforderung und Ängste zu bewältigen. Dieses Trinkverhalten von Frauen, das in der Nachkriegsgeneration noch undenkbar war, ist weit verbreitet und gesellschaftlich akzeptiert. Doch es hat fatale Folgen.

Samantha Harte has had her share of heartbreak. Now fourteen years sober, she has suffered through her mother’s mental illness; betrayal by partners; the loss of her sister, friends, and father; multiple miscarriages; and her addiction to drugs and alcohol.

Through her medical practice, Samantha came to realize that, whether we’re addicted or not, we all suffer from some degree of soul sickness.

Thirty-eight years ago I wrote "Drink, Drank, Drunk", a series of six articles for the Milwaukee Journal in which I used my personal experience with booze, along with pointing out the stranglehold the beer/booze industry has on our society. Incredibly, a recent review of those articles leads to the inevitable and unfortunate conclusion that with only minor changes for updating statistics, they could have been written yesterday. Never in my many years of practicing journalism have I ever experienced the kind of reader response "Drink, Drank, Drunk" generated.

A sober hedonist's guide to living a decadent, wild, and soulful life--alcohol-free. In a culture where sipping "rosé all day" is seen as the epitome of relaxation, "grabbing a drink" the only way to network; and meeting at a bar the quintessential "first date," many of us are left wondering if...

Ho scritto questo libro pensando ai pazienti afflitti da disordini mentali legati al panico, spesso alla disperata ricerca di aiuto professionale, che proiettano la responsabilità del lloro stato su altre persone e che vedono i professionisti come soggetti che spesso cercano di trarre vantaggio da questo loro stato allo scopo di tenere i pazienti legati a loro garantendo loro benefici materiali permanenti che risultano essere tutt'altro che etici.

We are not powerless over our addictions, nor are we helpless victims of heredity, a disease, a spiritual malady, or a slew of character defects that require the intervention of a "higher power," and a lifetime of meetings to control. Studies show that 75% of all addicts recover on their own, without pills, patches, rehabs, or self-help groups. How many people do you know who successfully quit smoking “cold turkey,” without artificial aids or programs, and nicotine is one of the most addictive substances on earth.

I quit alcohol cold turkey three times. I nearly died all three times. This is not a sobriety book full of slogans. Not a recovery memoir wrapped in inspiration. This is a clinical breakdown of what happens when you stop drinking without understanding alcohol's brain hijack.
