I know they must be posted somewhere here, but can someone list me some of the better reads for alcoholism and the people close to them, maybe books on enablers, etc. If you happen to know the authors, that would be helpful. Some I've looked up have similar titles but I don't know the author so not so sure of the correct book.

Thanks ahead of time.......

Sone of my most intense recovery has come out of non-addiction material.

Thomas Harris books - "I'm Ok. You're OK", "Staying OK"
Eric Berne - "What Do You Say after you Say Hello?"
Oliver James - "They F**K You Up"

There's some books threads in the Sticky posts at the top of the forum.
