This review is from: Phoenix in a Bottle: How We Overcame Alcoholism, and are Able to Drink Responsibly Again (Hardcover)
...into the life of an alcoholic and what it is like to be dependant on alcohol to get you throught the day. I have no interest in drinking and am actually T-total. I came across this book through a friend by chance and I definitely recommend it to anyone.Not only does it cover the turmoil that both Lilian and Murdoch suffered due to their addiction but it also gave an incredibly account of Lilian's past and why she struggled. The details on her eating disorder really struck a chord as it is something i have suffered from too and made me consider my own life and past events that might have made me become obsessive about controlling food. I can not recommend this book enough. It proves that these things can be beaten with some determination, love and without having to turn to a life of denial. well done.
