Worried about your drinking or that of a mother, sister, daughter or friend? Are you a wife whose husband nags you about your drinking? Want to know if you have a problem or the one you are worried about has a problem? Take the test on our site.
Still worried? You are not alone. According to a recent survey done by our government’s SUBSTANCE ABUSE and MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ADMINISTRATION (SAMHSA) 5.7 million women ages 18 and older were found to suffer from alcohol use disorder. This is a modest count because many alcoholics are in denial and manage to hide their drinking. It is not until they are in a car accident, have an unexpected fall, receive a doctor’s diagnosis of liver damage or have their neglected children put into foster care that these women are added to the statistics.
There are many facets to alcoholism and how it touches women. The Drinking Woman Revisited discusses the hereditary factor, alcoholism and pregnancy, stress and family living, the unhealthy marriage, female sexuality, seeking help, facing the world after recovery. It’s tough. We hope that this book will give you not only the proper information but the determination to seek help.
