Format: Paperback Language: English ISBN: 0393315339 ISBN13: 9780393315332 Release Date: December 1996 Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company Length: 192 Pages Weight: 0.44 lbs. Dimensions: 0.6" x 5.4" x 8.1" From that "first thing, " the authors help readers to imagine a future where drinking is not a problem and to specify small, concrete, obtainable goals that will make that future a reality. Neither the humiliation of "hitting bottom" nor a lifetime commitment to AA is necessary to make this approach work. Instead the individual learns to recognize exceptions (times when drinking is not a problem), catch himself "doing things right, " handle setbacks, and revise the "miracle picture" when things aren't working. Highly practical, "The Miracle Method" is a radically new and effective approach to problem drinking.
