title: I’ll Quit Tomorrow Author: Vernon E. Johnson Publisher: Harper & Row Publishers, Copyright 1973 Size: 8 1/4 inches by 5 3/4 inches, 168 pages description: From the dust jacket: “Alcoholism is a fatal disease. 100% fatal. It’s a killer and we live in a society that nurtures it. Whether drinking is referred to as the ‘cocktail hour’ or more euphemistically the ‘social hour’ alcohol is an ever-present factor for all of us. We should be aware of the damage it can do to some people’s lives. But alcoholism can be
arrested and the patient recovered. Not cured, but recovered, says
Vernon Johnson, a recovered alcoholic, who for the past ten years has
been doing research on, and working with, alcoholics. During this time a
break-through method for treating the disease has been developed. He
believes that the ‘crisis’ that the alcoholic and his friends have
been trying to avoid is in fact the turning point from addition or
‘dependency’ to recovery. Johnson works on the premise that the
whole person must be approached with multidisciplinary action on various
levels: physical, mental, psychological, and spiritual. Because
alcoholism is totally consuming of its victim, if one of these areas of
treatment is neglected, recovery is threatened and relapse is probable
if not certain.” I'll Quit
Tomorrow This bestselling recovery classic has helped untold thousands of
alcoholics onto the road of recovery. Written by the founder of the
Johnson Institute in Minneapolis, one of the country's most successful
training programs for treatment providers. I'll Quit Tomorrow
presents the concepts and methods that have brought new hope to
alcoholics and their families, friends, and employers. Abstinence is
not the only objective of Johnson's breakthrough methods--his therapy
aims at restoring the ego strength of the victim to assure permanent
recovery. Johnson outlines a dynamic plan of intervention and treatment
that will block the progress of alcoholism and lead to a richer, more
productive life. The best book of its kind for layman, paraprofessional, and
professional alike. Essential....It should be a required text in the training of all
physicians, psychologists, psychiatrists, ministers, priests, and all
others who provide services in the helping professions. Vernon E. Johnson, D.D. is the Founder of the Johnson Institute and
former faculty member of Rutgers University Summer School for
Alcohol Studies.
