Why do my efforts, to try helping my husband quit drinking, turn into World War III?
Dr.Vernon Johnson in his book, Ill Quit Tomorrow, writes ,The reason alcoholics are unable to perceive what is happening to them is understandable for many reasons, they are progressively unable to keep track of their own behavior and begin to lose contact with their emotions. Alcoholics dont know what is happening inside of them. Reason and logic will not work against them. Alcoholics will undoubtedly come out ahead in the battle of denial. The alcoholic will do anything to keep you off his back.
