Cheers is an amazing account of real-life stories about the people behind alcoholism, told by the sons, daughters, wives, husbands, parents and friends affected by it, and by alcoholics themselves. Each story offers a powerful message of profound insight and ultimate hope. Having read one story, we are impelled to read them all; we feel we get to know the characters so well that by the end of the book they seem like friends we are sad to leave behind.Uplifting, enlightening, touching, and so very human - this is a compelling read for all."Beautifully written and very informative, this book will dramatically change your understanding of alcoholism." Wendy van Vreeswijk, SRN - NLP"It's about time the silence was broken, that we voiced our hidden secrets, and that we courageously shared our experiences; together we can raise awareness and therefore inspire change." David Culhane MIHCA: Holistic Consultant - Psychotherapist and recovering alcoholic for twenty years."Poignant and sometimes painfully revealing, these often heart-warming real-life stories bring a powerful message of hope to those affected by alcoholism. A must-read not only for those with an alcohol problem, and their families and friends, but also health workers and anyone with an interest in the subject."Dr. Bernadette Veeger (GP)
