I found a link here at SR that contains excerpts from the book "Under The Influence". I read the excerpts and immediately ordered the book. It helped me wrap my head around how some people become addicted and how far reaching the addiction can be. Here is the link:

A great book - I agree. I have just ordered the follow up book too. This book was a huge factor in me being able to detach (with love) from my AH and really clarifys in a factual way, both physical and psychologically, why many alcoholics cant simply 'just stop'. Good for your nursing education too OP.
