Ten years ago, Janet Woititz broke new ground in our understanding of what it is to be an adult child of an alcoholic. Today, she re-examines the movement and its inclusion of adult children from various dysfunctional family backgrounds who share the same characteristics. After more than 10 years of working with ACoAs, she shares the recovery hints that she has found to work. Listen to Adult Children of Alcoholics to see where the journey began and for ideas on where to go from here.

This book provides wisdom and information for all adult children of dysfunctional families.

All the characteristics are the same for everyone nor do you have all of them keep listening until you get it.

Exactly How I felt as a child.

This book really had me holding on to my heart as I listened. Having grown up with an alcoholic father I knew it really affected my life since I was very very young.
But I am beyond grateful to have heard all the many ways. Also I was astounded at how accurately the author described some of my life circumstances.
This has given me clarity and insight on how to begin my healing and recovering.
Will listen again and highly recommend to anyone who’s close to an alcoholic or close to the child of an alcoholic.

What I liked about the book was how the author helped identify some issues I had growing up experiencing alcohol in the home. And while I did not agree with everything in this book,
It helped me identify my issues and learn to take responsibility for my actions as an adult. the performance of this audiobook was very good and very clear.

This is a great book if you grew up experiencing alcohol in the home.

My granddaughters are acoa. I have read this book to gain knowledge and understanding of their feelings and their personalities. I am better able to help them get through and cope with their past. With the help of their counselor and the knowledge I gained in this book we are all more prepared to heal and grow. I will purchase this book for them. I feel when they read it they will realize they are not alone. Thank you for writing this book.

Very enciteful

I think your relatability to this book may be tied to the level of alcoholism your parent may have been at as well as the specific dynamics you had in your family. I related to less than I would have liked, but did find what I did to relate to helpful.

Good

I had the book in print for years and it's dog-eared pages and highlighted text well, sometimes was really hard to put down and then pick up again. Hearing it was really amazing...so glad this is in audio finally. One AHA moment that I had was the patience or "now" factor...why I must do things or have things "now" this was something I didn't fully get from the written text. I wish all her titles on this topic were in audio.

Finally

I don't know about everyone else that read this book that is an adult child of an alcoholic I am in this certainly gave me some good insight. I love to think about us as animals and that there's patterns.

very insightful

I'm left feeling raw and unfinished. But I suppose the real conclusion will be how I live the rest of my life now with this insight.

My therapist wanted me to read this book but I wasn’t sure I was going to like it. She had given me another to read which took me a year and a half to complete due to me hating it that much. This one though was the complete opposite. I was glad to find it on audible too cause I suffer from ADD and listening to someone read makes it so much easier to understand and pay attention to. I also wasn’t sure if I was going to relate to a lot in this book but sadly I did. I related to quite a bit of it actually. The narrator was also pleasant to listen to and she was easy to understand.

Wasn’t sure about this…

Definitely recommend this book! It was a huge revelation to me, I hoped I was done with my family dynamics, but they are still there. I feel so much better understanding where all my feelings come from and look forward to change them, now that I am more aware!

Talk about relief, revelation and work ahead…
