About this title

Synopsis

An alcoholic until the age of 34, he then became a highly trained counsellor on addiction and runs the Prom recovery centre in Kent, where he treats alcoholics, drug addicts and people with eating disorders. Thus he would say he's been in the business of alcoholism for 43 years - only the first 43 he was all for it.

Synopsis

Alcohol is one of the most seductive drugs available to us: it makes us feel relaxed, confident and content, although we may know we are none of these things. While heavy drinkers may be cocnerned about their habit, social and moderate drinkers may not wish to give up but may want to cut down or ensure that their drinking does not get out of hand. This sympathetic and authoritative book gives readers advice on how to assess whether they have a drinking problem, and if so, what to do about it. By examining the reasons why people drink and exploding the myths surrounding alcoholism, Colclough, himself a reformed alcoholic, suggests ways drinkers can change their attitudes and habits in order to move on.
