Appropriate if it’s your spouse, partner, parent, child, grandchild. Anyone whose drinking/ addiction bothers you.

I liked that it was the very basics for getting started in a world filled with questions. As side participants in a world we really didn’t wish to be a part of, this book gives us a reassurance that we are not alone. It guides us into a place of hope.
