Good books on alcoholism or drug abuse are not easy to come by and when one does they are usually not cheap or are written in a language only doctors would understand. Others do not get to the point which simply put is 'defining the problem and then advising on what steps one should take to rectify or resolve the situation.'

It is to this end that goinghomedotcom will endeavor to make available at affordable prices various books that we feel would help one who is suffering from the disease of alcoholism or drug addiction or who has a significant other caught up with the disease.

CHARLES DOWNS
Because Doug has repeatedly rescued Gayle, she's managed to finish college and hold down a decent job. But now, as her blackouts become more frequent and severe, Doug wonders if his helping really is helping...

Jill's alcoholic husband, Roger, is about to lose his job. Roger's secret problem weighs so heavily on Jill that suicide seems a tempting solution...

A pastor supports his hidden addiction to alcohol by stealing from his family and his church. How long can he hide his secret trips out of town, the private cache of alcohol in the parsonage, and the symptoms of his drunkenness and hangovers?...

• Why do people abuse alcohol, and how do they become alcoholics?

• Can't problem drinkers see what they're doing to themselves and to the people who love them?

• How can you cope with all the craziness that your troubled friend brings into your life?

Charles Downs addresses these questions and more. Those who struggle in relating to an alcoholic will welcome his heartfelt encouragement and advice. Background information and a thorough resource section make Problem Drinking valuable to a helping friend.
