The Complete ACOA Sourcebook

Adult Children of Alcoholics at Home, at Work and in Love

De: Janet Geringer Woititz EdD, Robert J. Ackerman - foreword PhD

Narrado por: Coleen Marlo

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, listeners 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. Listeners 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.

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 listeners for generations to come.

Incredibly important reading for ACOAs

So much good information. One of the most important books I’ve ever listened to. Helped with my awareness of things I was previously unaware of. Very thankful for this book.

Good resource

Took a while but worth it.Good resource and reminder for all aspects and perspe tives.

ABSOLUTELY A MUST READ!

I went into this book with my guard up and thinking this was simply going to be a book of excuses to use for the issues I've not been able to pinpoint within myself for decades... however, by the last page I am walking away with so many possibilities towards correcting the things I've been struggling with for as long as I can remember.

Great Resource

Great resource for adult children of alcoholics who are trying to navigate their experiences , triggers and behaviors. The book pairs well, if you are currently working through issues with a therapist

Great content - Poor narrator

Excellent content and is very condensed, However, the delivery of the narrator is poor and makes it difficult to listen to. I ended up buying the book to get more out of it. It is a scary read if you grew up like this. It paints a picture of a very damaged person. There are better narrators for this first book. Adult Children of Alcoholics. Narrator Therese Plummer is far better.

Amazing Author. Great resource.

Good and affordable for anyone working Program. Gained deep insight. Found this after reading Struggling with Intimacy. Also recommended and included in this resource compilation.

Eye opening

I stumbled upon this book trying to find books about how to fix my marriage. Both my spouse and I are children of alcoholics. This book pointed out some hard truths. Things that I do things that he does. The things we sabotage, themes we tend to recycle over 30 years of marriage. Finally at a point where I just can’t or don’t want to live like this anymore. But I could not seem to recognize my own thoughts or reasons why we do what we do. This book was of tremendous help to identify so many actions I do automatically without thought. It just is. It must be. I now recognized that I am not alone. Suicide is not a solution. I am not alone. One day at a time.
