Question by nene: Book Recommendation for Alcoholism? Please Help!?
Okay I know there are a MILLION alcoholism books out there but I was wondering if anyone could recommend one for a certain type of alcoholic, She’s not the type of alcoholic that drinks constantly, all day or even every night – she’s they type that drinks maybe one or two times a week but cannot control the amount she drinks once she starts. She drinks to the point of blackouts where she doesn’t remember what she said or did. This has long been putting strain on the family because of her actions when she drinks, (most of which she claims not to remember.) After a particularly bad night she always says that she’s never going to drink again, and every once in a while she’ll go several weeks without drinking but she inevitably a party or a wedding happens and then it starts all over again. The last time my parents drank together a few weeks ago they got in such a bad fight it almost cost them their marriage. She said she was done drinking after that.
My mother just got her second DUI last night, the one before that was 3 years ago. I need to know if anyone knows a good book I could get for her. I know she needs to get into an AA program but I am looking for something to supplement that. I’m sure any alcoholism book would be helpful but I’m afraid that if I get her one that is too focused on the ‘pouring vodka on their cheerios’ type then she will find a way to convince herself that the book does not apply to her. Sorry this is so long, I guess I just needed to get a little off my chest right now because I just found out about this and my husband is at work. I have to go pick her up from jail tomorrow and I was hoping to maybe pick up a book for her on my way.
Okay thank you for the answers so far, but I’m not just looking for someone to type ‘Alcoholism books’ on google and post the links. I’m quite capable of doing that myself. I am looking for someone who has actually read a particular book which they found helpful that they can recommend.
Like I said in my original question I am aware that she needs to go to AA. I cannot force her to do that. I am doing what I can here, which is to try to provide her with something that may open her OWN eyes to the fact that she needs to go to AA, because all of us asking her to go has not helped yet.

Question by : “Cruel and inhumane treatment” grounds for divorce in NY?
Hello everyone, I am in the process of getting divorced in NY. As you may know NY doesn’t accept no-fault divorces. Our relationship deteriorated over time. Her alcohol problem got worse and she started to banging the stuff around while we argue. Do you guys think that qualifies for “cruel and inhumane treatment”.
Thanks a lot
She agreed with the divorce stuff so it will be uncontested. I am trying to give the judge just enough information to proceed with the divorce without writing a novel about our marriage.

Best answer:

Answer by thatartistwin
No. Sounds like you are picking at straws trying to come up with something to nail her on. I suspect that her alcohol problem got worse with the failing of her marriage. Take responsibility for your part in that.
