I’ve been a very busy girl
over the past month. I’ve been working on updating the Workbook for Caretakers of End-Stage Alcoholics. It’s now available
in a paperback version on Amazon.com. You can get it here:
You can still get the
computer version here on the blog, but it will not be available anywhere else –
at least for now.
The paperback version has
been updated and packed with new information. It is a must have for anyone
dealing with an alcoholic. It’s all the information you wished you didn’t need
to know.
I use my workbook almost
everyday. I keep one for Riley and I can see how he has deteriorated over the
past couple of years. When the doctor comes to visit (Yes, our doctor makes
house calls – The Visiting Physician’s Association.), he can clearly see how
things have changed from one visit to the next.
I also have a workbook for
myself. I have altered it in different ways to fit my own health issues. I’m
not an alcoholic but I am diabetic. I track all the vital information and my
blood sugar levels. My doctor loves it when I give him my charts from the
Workbook and sees my improvement.
I will be developing a
workbook for non-alcoholics in the very near future.
About two years ago, I
asked for, and received, stories from my readers of their own journey through
loving an alcoholic. I still have most of them and will be using them to write
my next book. You can still contribute if you want by e-mailing me your story
to LindasFrontPorch@outlook.com
with “story” in the subject line. Identities will be changed to provide
anonymity for the contributors. I will also accept stories based on drug
addiction.
There is a new book on the
market by Wren Waters, titled The
Alcoholic Husband Primer: Survival Tips for Wives of Alcoholics. I enjoyed
reading this book. It was clear and offered a point of view unique to wives of
alcoholics. I highly recommend reading this book. You can get it at:
Another recent book is This Naked Mind by Annie Grace. While I
prefer not to get into the business of recommending book dealing primarily with
alcoholics rather than families of alcoholics, I thought this one was worth
mentioning. This Naked Mind offers a new solution. Annie Grace will open your eyes to the startling role of alcohol in our culture. She psychological, neurological, cultural, social and industry factors creating a must read for anyone who drinks.
I’ll be posting another
book review next month. If you have any you’d like to recommend or reviews
you’d like published, please e-mail me at LindasFrontPorch@outlook.com
with the word “review” in the subject line.
