Synopsis
Some 20 million Americans and 2 million Canadians have serious drinking problems. Only about 5% turn to Alcoholics Anonymous, the best-known assistance program, and seven out of eight of them leave the rigorous, religion-based, lifelong program within three years. Jerry Dorsman offers a promising alternative. A recovering alcoholic and a substance-abuse counselor, he has developed a proven system based on individual responsibility and backed up with concrete plans and helpful exercises. Included are relaxation and stress-management techniques and methods to avoid common pitfalls.

How to Quit Drinking without AA
Seller: Mad Hatter, West Kelowna, BC, Canada
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Condition: Very Good+. A tight and unmarked copy-" Many alcoholics seeking treatment are uncomfortable with the tenets of A.A.: the idea that they are "powerless," the heavy emphasis on a Higher Power, and the paternalistic, possibly sexist, undertones. Dorsman, who quit drinking on his own, now shares his innovative method for overcoming alcoholism. Includes worksheets. "Quit drinking on your terms," urges Jerry Dorsman, addictions counselor and an alcoholic in recovery for over 16 years. Those terms, carefully outlined in How to Quit Drinking Without AA, shift the treatment model away from disease toward holism. In this upbeat and written guide, Dorsman neither moralizes nor locks the alcoholic in the perception of powerlessness. "A part of you remains nonalcoholic, no matter how much you drink," Dorsman counsels. This book aims at reaching the strength and integrity of the nonalcoholic self. Offering a refreshing look at the problem, Dorsman emphasizes habit over disease. If drinking is a learned behavior, it can be unlearned. Each chapter contains worksheets designed to penetrate the alcoholic's denial and exercises to assess the problem. Five simply stated steps integrate psychological and physical realities. A chapter on healing details a regimen of healthy eating, physical exercise, and great activities to substitute for drinking. A chapter on renewal offers auxiliary therapies to drug and alcohol treatment such as acupuncture, massage, and tai chi. How To Quit Drinking Without AA will appeal to those who are ready to take charge of their recovery, seeing it as nothing less than the means to change one's life.". Seller Inventory # 24809
