Cbt?
Can anyone recommend some good CBT books or info on the net please? Specific to alcoholism would be best 
I would like a book that isn't too academic that Icould get some ideas and techniques from.

I just looked through half a dozen pages of this forum and I couldn't find anything. People here - when it was an "alternative to AA" forum - were mainly into SMART recovery and do it yourself. There was a guy called Five who used to mention cbt practice as part of his daily defences against drink, and I've looked through his posts - up to a point - and I can find nothing.
I googled "cbt, alcoholism, recovery" as I'm sure you have, and found lots of stuff, including stuff under "self-help Cognitive Behaviour Therapy" and Rational Behaviour Therapy. I know a little about these theoretically - I've read some of it - but nothing at all experientially - I haven't practiced it.
Maybe someone with more experience will post

For some good information about what CBT is and how it is set up to work, see:
http://www.nacbt.org/whatiscbt.htm
For a self help approach, here's a book that may be helpful.

I cannot speak to the worth of the book, but, it was based from the first link, and that was decent infomation. Hope it helps!
Shalom!

Thanks everyone!
Teach, that is the type I have been looking at actually. Here is one I found on Amazon.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mind-Over-Mo...841095-9213258
I also think this looks good but it isn't out until october.

Hi Alera, I hadn't looked into smart recovery but they do seem to use CBT after a quick scan of the website. I will look into it!
Thanks for the recommendation too.
