    About this ebook

    Do you think you drink too much? Does your loved one? Have your children been affected by your or your partner's alcohol consumption? This little book is designed to give you some guidance about how to identify if alcohol is an issue.

    You will simply not be able to have a satisfying, mutual relationship with someone who has crossed over from an occasional social drink to someone who uses alcohol to cope with life.

    ACOA - have you come across this concept? It is Adult Child of an Alcoholic. Families where children grow up with a drinker are giving them a legacy which is not a great start in life. Would you really want your child to struggle for the rest of their life? Check it out for yourself - this is not the only book talking about people who are ACOA.

    Alcohol can ruin lives.

    Susan Jane Smith

    I became an author without ever having had any desire to write! Let me explain: I was a Psychotherapist in private practice and busy, but always short on time or money due to the labour intensive nature of the work. I meditated about how to get more money and the "answer" came back "write the book". Well, what to write? I had read you should write about what you know so I started to try to convey all that I had learnt in 20 years of my professional life! It took me six yeaers! It was a long time before I found "my voice" - my style. Chatty rather than clinical as I believe in trying to connect with people. I literally had to screw up all my courage to start writing as it was a new world to share my thoughts with people I did not know. My most important book "Emotional Health for Emotional Wealth" was started on a bit of chip paper in a car park! I made lots of notes on scraps of paper and eventually orgainised them and pulled it all together and that was how this particular book was born! I was asked to write "Pre-Marital MOT: A Relationship Inspection" and that too is based on working with hundreds of individuals and couples. "Sexual Abuse & Incest" and "Physical and Emotional Abuse Hurt the World as Well as The Child" are two of the twenty self-help e-books now available in my Little Book Series of Emotional Health for Emotional Wealth. I have 7 rescue cats and adore all cats so when I was wanting an idea to help fund raise for cat rescue groups I wrote "Harry's Home! A Cat Compendium". If you love cats too this is the book for you! Watch my website for updates and do tell all your friends about me!
