Summary

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.

Very good in content but very much too concise

Would you try another book written by Janet Geringer Woititz or narrated by Therese Plummer?

I don't know. The reader was okay (a bit too quick). The book itself good in content but extremely concise. I am ACoA and part of my recovery/therapy is read or listen to good texts. This book is almost like reading an Encyclopedia, so brief. I wish it had more examples written in more elaborate manner. I got a great deal from this book but was frustrated with the approach.

If you’ve listened to books by Janet Geringer Woititz before, how does this one compare?

NA

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Narrator was okay. The only thing maybe would be to read slower. The text is so packed with meaning that it could allow the listener to absorb the content better.

Any additional comments?

I will hold to this book inspite of my frustration expressed earlier. I need to listen to it again and pause at times in order to digest the content and relate it to my life, think of other examples.

Such an important topic and such good information. Why is it read in such an un natural voice!

insightful but the truth is sad 😔 I'd listen again to make sure I've not missed anything.

Good understanding of impact of alcohol misuse

perfect length, not too long, so a good introduction to how individuals and families are affected
