If You Loved Me, You'd Stop! What You Really Need to Know When Your Loved One Drinks Too Much

If You Loved Me, You€d Stop! What You Really Need To Know When Your Loved One Drinks Too Much combines current brain research on alcoholism and alcohol abuse with Lisa Frederiksen€s 40 years experience in dealing with these family problems. By explaining this research from the perspective of someone who has personally survived the ravages of a loved one€s drinking, Ms. Frederiksen offers fresh hope for the more than 50 percent of Americans (and the one in four children) who have a family member with a drinking problem. This book addresses a host of issues surrounding alcoholism and alcohol abuse, including co-addictions, DUIs, underage drinking, dual diagnosis, codependency, and, importantly, the characteristics that distinguish alcoholism from alcohol abuse (excessive drinking). Frederiksen€s book targets those who know their loved one drinks too much and believe that if they can just get them to stop, life will return to normal.
