> And have you personally really been through alcoholism?

Yes. I drank for over 30 years and tried a number of times to quit. It just kept getting worse. I got up to over 340 drinks per month and mainly spent my time holding down the sofa till it was time to drink again.

I started TSM in January of 2016 and 6 months later I started having back to back dry weeks. My drinking levels gradually dropped until then, but when I got down to a couple of drinks per day, there was not much left to keep the addiction glued together and it crumbled. The bottles of beer and wine at the store just didn't speak to me anymore.

I still drink about a 12 drinks per month/month and a half. I used to drink alone at home and rarely do that anymore. When I do drink, it's 1 or 2, sometimes 3 in an evening. Not a 12 pack or more like I used to drink every single night.

Here's another book for you:

If you prefer the kindle format, it's also available on Amazon:

Thanks for posting. I'm sure it was hard for you. I have no sage advice or wisdom. However, as a fellow alcoholic (just over three years sober now), I know how tough it can be. Alcoholism seems to "run" in my family, so I suspect there is a genetic component (although I do not know for sure). I did the exercises in this book to quite booze. It was challenging but well worth it:

And the Goo Goo Dolls are my favorite band, by far. I also listed to Name on repeat today while on my run. There is something about that song.

Goo luck.

You sound really self-aware but if you ever feel like your upbringing is causing problems in your personal life, maybe a book like this would be helpful? http://www.amazon.com/Perfect-Daughters-Adult-Alcoholics/dp/1558749527 Otherwise good luck to you.
