Suggestions: Books to help Mother of Adult Alcoholic Child
Permalink  

I just joined this forum.  Someone suggested a book in another thread (Setting Boundaries with your Adult Children) which I have requested from my library.  I would like to know if there are any other books that people have found helpful?  Just by reading excerpts from the book I requested, I realized I have been enabling (not helping) my adult children.

Codependent no more by Melody Beattie. I started reading myself and so far it's really hit the nail on the head.

"Getting them sober " by Toby Rice Drews. It's for couples but I got a lot out of it because you can apply to your child.
