Product Description

Eminent addiction expert Dr Stanton Peele PhD

Both a wonderful love story and a challenge to conventional wisdom about how people can recover from drinking problems.


Book Description

In 1994 as a result of their alcoholism, Lilian and Murdoch MacDonald were down and out, sleeping rough in the streets and parks of Cambridge, the English university town where, a quarter of a century before, Murdoch had studied for an honours degree.

Refusing to accept what they consider to be the outmoded myths and dogma of Alcoholics Anonymous, Lilian and Murdoch set about searching for the underlying causes of their self-harming behaviour problem, which they discovered lay in childhood.

Although Lilian and Murdoch's upbringing caused their problems, they themselves take full responsibility for their drinking, most importantly because taking responsibility for one's own actions is the starting point on the road to recovery.

As a result of their endeavours, the couple are today back home in Ayrshire, Scotland, leading normal lives again, with their problems of alcoholism and Lilian's associated eating disorder well and truly behind them. Controversially, they are also now able to drink alcohol responsibly again, if and when they so wish.This book is the inspiring story of their journey.

4.0 out of 5 stars an excellent insight..., 14 Sep 2005
By A Customer
...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.
