Excellent help for ACOAs
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book was very helpful in helping recover as a ACOA. It was Insightful as to what I can do to change behaviors that I have learned becuase i lived with Alcoholic parents.
Very practical

The skills taught in this book can be used from the day I read it. Although there is enough number of books analyzing abuse, this book is different because it is so helpful in coping with life for adult children like me.
"Excellent "
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
For years I have struggled with poor social and communication skills which caused me great frustration. This book was written for people like myself who have grown up in the shadows of alcoholism and consequently did not develop some key life skills as a result of the alcoholic environment. This book is a must read. it is thoroughly well written, with examples and instructions on how to develop the life skills needed. i especially liked the chapter that focused on conversation clues, which gives scenarios that can be used in everyday life. Wonderful!!
An Invaluable Resource
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
"Lifeskills" is one of those books everyone should own. It deals with the personality traits inherent in those from dysfunctional families (primarily, children of alcoholics) and presents "normal" functioning skills which children of alcoholics often do not learn. Even if one is not a product of an alcoholic environment, this book gives an excellent view of healthy, "normal" responses to life's daily situations.
