So I am reading one of the BEST "self help" books I've EVER had my hands on... It is called "Perfect Daughters" it is for adult daughters of alcoholics. HOLY COW.................. it is giving me SO MUCH insight on to why I am the way I am, and why I have some "self control" issues, specifically with food. I have a very addictive personality..... food isjust my addiction of choice. Anyway... I jsut wanted to share this in case there are others of you that are adult daughters of alcoholics (or even perhaps addicts, I think the behavior pattern is very similar). The whole "SBD WOE" has really helped me WANT to get the rest of me "better" and this book is the perfect (albiet, hard to read sometimes) companion.

EDIT: here is the link to that book on amazon if you are interested...

ps...I should mention, it is my Father who is the alcoholic. I mention this because my Mom (best mom in the world btw ) is catsrus, and posts on this site... I just don't want you all to think less of her, it is really my dad with the issues.
