Family Recovery: Growing Beyond Addiction

By Terence T. Gorski and Merlene Miller

This guide for families living with alcoholism explains the disease and how family members have been affected.

Family Recovery is designed to help family members develop skills to cope with disruptions and crises that are a part of life with an alcoholic; focus on personal recovery rather than on someone elses drinking; motivate the problem drinker to get help; and restructure the family around recovery rather than drinking.
