Shock therapy for alcoholics and drug addicts

Posted by Gracie2 on October 10, 2002, at 23:07:30

For anyone confronting alcohol addiction, I recommend "Terry" by George McGovern. This is a loving and honest book by the father of a brave, intelligent woman who had the most extreme addiction to alcohol that I've ever heard of. Her experiences and shame were so painful to read about that I cannot imagine bearing such torture myself, or for someone I cared about.
"The Tennis Partner" by Abraham Verghese is the story of a doctor who befriends a medical student
with a drug problem. It's a touching, well-written book that discusses the little-known world of MDs addicted to narcotics.
I guarantee both books are absolutely fascinating reading.
