No. You're not crazy. The person you love is probably an alcoholic. You've been blindsided by lies, deception, denial, a life of chaos, and experienced Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. You've hidden bottles, poured out the alcohol, and begged your loved one not to drink. Don't despair. There is hope. This survival guide will help you understand the nature of the disease of alcoholism, alcoholic behavior, and how you can regain control of your life.

Negotiation is part of every human encounter, and most of us do it badly. Whether dealing with family, a business or diplomacy, people often fail to meet their goals in every country and context. They focus on power and “win-win” instead of relationships and perceptions. They don’t find enough things to trade. They think others should be rational when they should be dealing with emotions.

Story
Gaslighting is usually used by psychopaths and narcissists, who are people that have a personality disorder. Psychopaths, in particular, are characterized by a lack of remorse for others and increased antisocial behavior. These personality traits allow psychopaths to easily manipulate others without feeling guilty or ashamed. For this reason, this book will also analyze how to read body language in order to recognize manipulators and in this way, avoid painful situations.

Great Ideas
Where does Alcoholic Spouse: Coping with an Alcoholic Husband or Wife rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
The sound and content were very good.
What did you like best about this story?
The condensed quality information.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When the author asked if anything I'd done over the past few years to try and make the alcoholic quit drinking had actually made my spouse stop drinking. Nothing I've tried has made him quit. Then the author suggested to stop doing something that was only making me frustrated.

A no-nonsense approach to a difficult subject
Any additional comments?
This book deals with a difficult topic very thoughtfully. it isn't fraught with emotion, it's very factual. Often the focus of alcoholic support is on the alcoholic themselves, so it's nice to see some help for spouses of alcoholics as they suffer as much, if not more. This book would also be of use to other family members, friends and colleagues of an alcoholic. It is split up into handy manageable chunks, as a 31 day plan. Of course you can work your way through slower if you like. The content is down-to-earth and practical. From providing the best support, to avoiding arguments. It will teach you to take care of yourself as well as your spouse. I was gifted a copy of this book - all opinions are my own.

Not what I was hoping for
I had hoped this would provide some insight into how to act in a way that doesn’t enable or exacerbate your spouses alcoholism, but this short list doesn’t really talk about that. It’s more about how to protect yourself from your spouses destructive behaviours.
