'It Will Never Happen to Me!' Children of Alcoholics: As Youngsters - Adolescents - Adults

by Claudia Black

This "little green book," as it has come to be known to hundreds of thousands of C.O.A.'s and A.C.O.A.'s, is meant to help the reader understand the roles children in alcoholic families adopt, the problems they face in adulthood as a result, and what they can do to break the pattern of destruction.

    Very, VERY helpful. If you have an alcoholic family member, do not hessitate to read this. It will help you get past the worries of "Please let me not be like that person." Please, please, if this book has been recomended to you, read it.

    The little green book. This book goes in and out of my office often. Many people have never seen the effect that alcohol or drugs played in the life of their families. According to Black, these rules in these families are "Don't trust. Don't talk. Don't feel." Sometimes even after the alcohol misuse has ended, these remain the ways that the family functions. Very readable.
