WHEN AA DOESN'T WORK FOR YOU: RATIONAL STEPS TO
QUITTING ALCOHOL by Albert Ellis, Ph.D. & Emmett Velten, Ph.D. 1992 Barricade Books softcover 3rd printing. Ex Library. 329 pp. with lists, text, notes, 3 appendices--sources of help, 12 negative emotions, & 12 criteria of psychological health--, references, and index. Of the many methods that have been devised to help people quit their problem drinking and change their lives, a few originated by pioneering self-help groups--such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Rational Recovery--have had a considerable success. But not with everybody. This is the first book in which the world-famous founder of RET applies the powerful insights of rational-emotive therapy specifically to recovery from problem drinking. RET is truly a rational guide to quitting alcohol. This book covers the entire range of problem drinking. It shows readers how to know when they have a drinking problem, how to understand and eliminate denial, and why they drink too much. It explicitly shows the reader how to get to recovery, how to stay there, and how to move on to another, higher level; a more enjoyable and fuldilling life.
