A Drunking Problem - Understanding Addiction and Recovery

A book by Richard M. Prodey - Known for The Prodey Lectures

Calling alcoholism a primary disease does not mean that it is the only disease, the most important, or even the most debilitating. It means that addiction is not caused by another disease or problem, is not, in other words, “secondary” to another disease, not the by-product of another problem, but that it is a problem in and of itself. Put more specifically, addiction is not caused by depression, anxiety, or moral depravity.

An insightful look at the facts and the myths surrounding the disease of alcoholism. Dick Prodey has compiled this book from the popular Prodey Addictions Lecture Series he has delivered weekly for over 15 years. A must have for anyone needing to understand more about the science behind the stereotypes found in modern culture.

Book Reviews

5 out of 5 stars  - Clearly explains the disease of addiction

I value this book and indeed Richard’s lectures . The examples, research and conclusions he offers are cemented in my head that the disease of addiction is complex. However, the cure, the most effective cure is abstention from alcohol ( or indeed any mind-altering substance) is simple in concept, but requires a strong support system and mindfulness in the recovery process. I thank Richard for the work and the message of hope he conveys.

5 out of 5 stars - Great book, good price here

Great book to read if you wish to have an understanding of alcoholism. I also attended all 8 weeks of Mr. Prodey’s lectures and they were fantastic. With all that said, do not pay the outrageous prices from online sellers, you can find the book here for $18 dollars.

5 out of 5 stars - It does not get better than this book

I attended all the author’s lectures and bought the book from him personally. It does not get any better than this book. The most straight forward, pragmatic, approach and understanding of modern alcoholism. If you are living with an alcoholic or think you yourself may have a problem, buy this book....it has been worth every penny!

5 out of 5 stars - Must read

If you only read one book about alcoholism, this should be it. Dick Prodey knows more about the condition than anyone else I've read or met. I also highly recommend his free series of lectures at Sheppard Pratt in Baltimore Maryland.
