I'm only half way through the book but have learned so much. I am reading this for my husband, who has gotten into a lot of trouble with his drinking, but have realized that I have become dependent on the emotion of anger. I also felt depressed at times and now realize that I can change my emotions and my thinking. I will change my feelings of hopelessness around, starting today. I look forward to finishing the book and handing it to my husband very soon.
