Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is your partner an adult child of an alcoholic (ACOA)? Are you struggling with your relationship? Children of alcoholics develop patterns of behavior during childhood that carry over into adult life. As children, they were taught to cover up the family secret and suppress their feelings, and as adults, no matter what's going on, they'll always tell you they're fine. Distrust, fear of abandonment, and sensitivity to criticism are all major issues for ACOAs.

Download or read book The Complete ACOA Sourcebook written by Janet G. Woititz and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When they were first released in the 1980s, Janet Woititz's groundbreaking works, Adult Children of Alcoholics, Struggle for Intimacy and The Self-Sabotage Syndrome, provided a new message of hope to adult children who had grown up in the shadow of alcoholic parents. Their message today is as profound and timeless as it was two decades ago. Now, in this complete collection, readers will learn again the insight and healing power of Janet Wotitiz's words. The Complete ACoA Sourcebook is a compilation of three of Dr. Woititz's classic books, addressing head-on the symptoms of The Adult Children of Alcoholics syndrome and providing strategies for living a normal life as an adult. Readers will find help for themselves: at home, in intimate relationships and on the job. They will discover the reasons for the way they think, believe and feel about themselves; ACoAs often feel isolated, have difficulty in relationships, in the workplace and in feeling good about themselves. Readers who are familiar with Woititz's work will find wisdom once again in this classic collection. Those new to ACoA will gain fresh insight into their behavior patterns and find an avenue for self-love and healing. Noted ACoA expert Dr. Robert Ackerman, author of the best-selling Perfect Daughters and Silent Sons, provides a foreword and explains why Janet Woititz's message will continue to help millions of readers for generations to come.

Download or read book Risk and Resilience written by Richard Velleman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Risk and Resilience looks at the issue of young adults who grew up in families where a parent, and sometimes both, had a drinking problem. Alcohol-related problems are now recognized as being near the very top of the world league table of health and social problems. Since the large majority of problem drinkers are adults aged between 22 and 55, many are parents with children or adolescents in their care. In the USA alone, there are estimated to be over six million children under the age of 18 living with a parent with a drinking problem, and over 22 million adults - one in every eight American adults - who were brought up with a parent who had a drinking problem. Clearly, many children who grow up in this sort of environment have a difficult childhood. Velleman and Orford examine the question of what happens to such children when they grow up. Risk and Resilience focuses on three main themes: What is the likelihood of such young adults developing drinking problems themselves? Wha
Download or read book Alcoholism s Children written by Sean D. Sammon Fms and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-10 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approximately 76 million Americans have been exposed to some form of alcoholism within their family; of that number, as many as 27 million are children. While most children of alcoholics (CoAs) remain invisible, a disproportionate number also enter the criminal justice system, courts, prisons, mental health facilities, Employee Assistance Programs, and are referred to school authorities. Alcoholism is a family affair. Every member suffers its effects. In time, all become as sick as the addicted person. CoAs adapt to the chaos and inconsistency in their families by denying their feelings. Many also develop these characteristics: an inability to trust, an overdeveloped sense of responsibility, an addiction to excitement, and fears of abandonment, conflict, loss of control. Priests and men and women religious who grew up with chemically dependent parents also can remember their family's pain. In later years many realize that entering the seminary or formation center gave them some distance from the problems at home. Similar to their fellow ACoAs, they often suffer from feelings of isolation, depression, shame, and experience low self-esteem as well as difficulty maintaining satisfying relationships.This book, written for adult children of alcoholics (ACoAs) and those who know and care about them, is a fully revised and updated text of an earlier edition of Alcoholism's Children: ACoAs in Priesthood and Religious Life. It provides a simple and straightforward explanation of the difficulties ACoAs face and what they must do to recover. Like its predecessor, the book begins by offering an overview of the disease of alcoholism and its progression. The text then moves on to explore the impact that this disease has on each member of the family and the family as a whole. Finally, the process of intervention and the journey of recovery are discussed. The book does not exhaust conversation about alcoholism or its children; rather, it tells briefly the story of a potentially fatal disease that affects millions of Americans and their families. The text also points out that recovery from alcoholism and its legacy is possible, today perhaps more so than ever before. If you are a child from an alcoholic family, reading this book may help convince you of the wisdom of this paradox: the disease that you once thought might take your life can be the very thing that makes it worth living.

This book was released on 2009-11-21 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I feel like people leave me abandoned all the time. Sometimes I'm so afraid for what seems like no reason. I just don't seem to have any energy. Why do the same thoughts keep racing through my mind? I usually don't feel happy or sad. If there isn't real excitement, I feel bored. I want to be close to people, but I just never make it. Do you see yourself in this list? Children of alcoholic parents have suffered wounds that affect their lives for years to come. They learn to protect themselves from the pattern of hurt that they have come to expect in life. The results of such constant vigilance against pain can range from ulcers, sleeplessness, addictions, depression and anger to a string of broken relationships. But adult children of alcoholics can go through a healing journey that will help them recover from their painful past and be set free to live as God intended. Daryl Quick takes readers step by step through new ways of feeling, thinking and acting that will replace the ineffective patterns they have been locked into for years. With moving stories and helpful exercises, Quick shows how adult children of alcoholics can find hope and healing. A book for those who want to recover from their past.
