The book, Under the Influence is suggested reading for our clients in treatment. Many people have told us that just reading the information in this book helped them come to terms with their disease, giving them the courage to get help. If you aren't ready to take that first step toward treatment, start with educating yourself. Use the link to find the book at Amazon.com or just ask us here at Alpine. We can provide you with a copy.
"A counselor at Alpine Recovery gave me a copy of Under the Influence. Reading this book (slowly at first) helped me realized what I was doing to my body. This wasn't just about being 'drunk' anymore...but what alcohol was doing inside me, in my blood, my brain, my body. I had never looked at it that way before. I've sought treatment with Alpine and now have a clean and sober, healthy life!" -- C.W. Arlington, Washington
