Early Recovery

So often, loved ones will live for years hoping that the loved alcoholic spouse or partner....or family member will just get sober....
.....then, life will be wonderful.
As the many posts on this forum reveal....the loved one is unprepared for the issues that come to the surface AFTER the alcoholic returns home, fresh from rehab. or, otherwise...puts down the bottle....
This is often shocking and leaves the loved one spinning in confusion...
I have found a surprising lack of literature that prepares for the changes that sobriety brings to a relationship....
However, I did stumble across some books, on Amazon, today...that I, previously, overlooked!
For anyone who is interested.....here they are...they can be purchased very inexpensively....

"Loving Someone in Recovery"
"Everything Changes"
"Living With sobriety"
