Alcoholism: The Genetic Inheritance

You inherited your mother's eyes...Your father's smile...And your grandfather's drinking problem. "For over thirty years," writes author and recovering alcoholic Kathleen FitzGerald, "the American Medical Association has recognized alcoholism as a disease with identifiable and progressive symptoms that, if untreated, lead to mental damage, physical incapacity and early death. Yet still do not treat alcoholism as a disease, but as a sin, a social stigma, a moral aberration. This book takes you on a journey through not only understanding alcoholism and drug addiction, but also addresses the emotional, physical and biological effects of this disease. If you are looking for a way to understand, overcome and recover alcoholism, you must read this book.
