One of the old chestnuts of addiction recovery is this question – Do drinkers need to deal with their past before they can stop drinking? In this video Lou and John discuss the issue and their different approaches to helping clients.
Also Lou talks about deprivation and abuse and differentiates between them and how she helps people to overcome them.
This hasn’t really answered the question, I hoped to find an answer to the question posed, but I’m still none the wiser.
Does the drinker need to look at their past to understand why they drink?
Thank you both for your mesage today.
I am the wife of a drinker.
Lou you mentioned there are certain books to read, to help. Can you please advice what they are.
Thanks
