The reason I've been upset, Jersey, is because I can imagine my own reaction to that book a few months ago. Until recently, I would have gladly "drunk the kool-aid" and gone with ANY idea that might have enabled me to continue drinking. Damage will be done here, and even though we should be able to think for ourselves, we are so vulnerable while we're trying to find our way to sobriety. There was a man in California years ago who wrote a book about being able to moderate - in the book there was a chart where you could keep track of what you drank. It made such perfect sense!I started out with great resolve. It only took about a month for me to totally tank once again. I know moderation is not possible for me. I just feel for those who will embrace this idea and end up being hurt by these irresponsible people.
