The following are books, websites, and other resouces I have found helpful in my effort to understand myself, and to understand and overcome the dependency I have burdened myself with in recent years.
Alcoholics Anonymous - the largest community of people working to overcome their addiction to alcohol. I'm a member and greatly appreciate their work, although this site discusses several ideas I believe should be updated.
Passages - I've never been to Passages, but Chris Prentiss and his son Pax are the founders, and they wrote The Alcoholism and Addiction Cure, which I've found to be essential to understanding the disease… and it isn't what you think. As a matter of fact, they make the point that alcoholism isn't even a disease at all, but rather a symptom of another disease, usually depression. Misunderstanding this could cost you your life.
