This interesting, comprehensive, easy-to-read book on the development and treatment of alcoholism and the difficult path to recovery contains all the ingredients of an excellent resource manual.

The remaining half of the book is devoted to the issues involved in keeping the addiction under control after sobriety is attained. Appendices present excellent supplemental material, including common medications containing alcohol and vitamins recommended for the alcoholic.
