| Phoenix in a Bottle by Lilian MacDonald and Murdoch MacDonald "Alcoholism is not a disease, say Lilian and Murdoch. It is a self-harming behaviour problem rooted in childhood, and if alcoholics are willing to identify and address their issues from the past, then there is no reason why they should not be able to rid themselves of their problem behaviour, even to the extent of being able to drink alcohol safely and responsibly again if and when they so wish."--Press Release amazon.co.uk |
