Controversial new book on alcoholism available in America and worldwide
"Phoenix in a Bottle" the controversial new book by Scottish couple
Lilian and Murdoch MacDonald that challenges conventional wisdom about
alcoholism, is now readily available in America and throughout the
world, as well as in the United Kingdom.
In the USA, "Phoenix in a Bottle" is available online from
http://www.superbookdeals.com and also direct from the UK publishers
Melrose Books at http://www.melrosebooks.com
In 1994 as a result of their alcoholism, Lilian and Murdoch MacDonald
were down and out, sleeping rough in the streets and parks of
Cambridge, the English university town where, a quarter of a century
before, Murdoch had studied for an honours degree.
Refusing to accept what they consider to be the outmoded myths and
dogma of Alcoholics Anonymous, Lilian and Murdoch set about searching
for the underlying causes of their self-harming behaviour problem,
which they discovered lay in childhood.
Although Lilian and Murdoch's upbringing caused their problems, they
themselves take full responsibility for their drinking, most
importantly because taking responsibility for one's own actions is the
starting point on the road to recovery.
As a result of their endeavours, the couple are today back home in
Ayrshire, Scotland, leading normal lives again, with their problems of
alcoholism and Lilian's associated eating disorder well and truly
behind them. Controversially, they are also now able to drink alcohol
responsibly again, if and when they so wish.
This book "Phoenix in a Bottle" is the inspiring story of their
journey.
Reviewing "Phoenix in a Bottle", eminent American psychologist and
addiction expert Dr Stanton Peele PhD commented:
"Phoenix in a Bottle is a modern version of The Days of Wine and
Roses, and tells the true story of how two people who entered a period
of desperate drinking stayed with one another in a close loving
relationship, and emerged from their alcoholism able to drink
responsibly again.
"Both a wonderful love story and a challenge to conventional wisdom
about how people can recover from drinking problems, Phoenix in a
Bottle gives people hope, and helps them to confront their own demons -
alcohol or otherwise."
"Phoenix in a Bottle" by Lilian and Murdoch MacDonald is published
in the UK by Melrose Books, price £16.99.
