"I will always be able to quit," "Female alcoholism is not treated," "Beer is not alcohol." Many misconceptions are associated with dependencies. This book is written to dispel illusions. Who will get sick and who will survive? Neither race, nor eye color, nor religion, nor wealth will insure you against anything. When we talk about addictions, it is very important to understand the problem, the realization that it will not be possible to reset the story, and persistent motivation for long-term sobriety. The book will help achieve these three key stages of success and serve as an important tool for rethinking and working towards recovery.
