Under the Influence
just finished this book and now i have really conflicting messages - the book recommends to NOT let them hit their bottom; to force them into a rehab; as lots who recovered got there because they were threatened by spouse or the job or a judge, and they realized after they sobered up for awhile that they did become grateful that they were forced into it. this book was written in the 80's, and it highly recommends AA, but indicates a few differences such as this. it also suggested that the high sugar diets should be abstained from as that could trigger cravings and low blood sugar bouts which could possibly lead to wanting another drink. lots of useful info in it, but the hitting bottom thing has me wondering again if i went the best way.
anybody have any thoughts on this?
