Every alcoholics (and other addicts) struggling to maintain sobriety needs to own this book. It has 65 common situations must learn to handle differently in order to stay in recovery. While these events most people learned how to handle as they journeyed through life, the alcoholic only handled them one way - he or she got drunk! This when the decision is made to seek recovery and lifetime sobriety, the alcoholic has not developed the behaviors to manage these common situations. Dr. Ramsey identifies the situations and them gives an Action Plan for each one so the recovering person has concrete, practical tools to help him or her change behavior to not only prevent relapse, but experience joy and confidence in their recovery. The Action Plans use the 12-Steps of AA as an important tool.
