第3章 About this Book

This book provides information, stories, evidence-based tools, and activities to help women understand the role of alcohol in their lives and consider whether they want to change. The stories are fictional, derived from case studies, the scientific literature, and personal experiences. There is one cautionary note that is important: If you believe you are physically dependent on alcohol (if your body needs alcohol to function), you should not suddenly eliminate alcohol from your life. Don't stop cold turkey. Symptoms of alcohol dependence could include withdrawal experiences when you stop drinking, such as sweating, nausea, and shakiness. Other symptoms might include feelings of anxiety, a racing pulse, and high blood pressure. If you are physically dependent on alcohol, suddenly stopping could create dangerous and even life-threatening health risks. It is advisable for all individuals who suspect they might be physically dependent to at least reduce their level of drinking. If you think you are physically dependent on alcohol, your physician or other health care specialist would be able to help you devise a plan to change your drinking gradually.

  • The Infinite Moment of Us

    The Infinite Moment of Us

    For as long as she can remember, Wren Gray's goal has been to please her parents. But as high school graduation nears, so does an uncomfortable realization: Pleasing her parents once overlapped with pleasing herself, but now … not so much. Wren needs to honor her own desires, but how can she if she doesn't even know what they are? Charlie Parker, on the other hand, is painfully aware of his heart's desire. A gentle boy with a troubled past, Charlie has loved Wren since the day he first saw her. But a girl like Wren would never fall for a guy like Charlie—at least not the sort of guy Charlie believes himself to be. And yet certain things are written in the stars. And in the summer after high school, Wren and Charlie’s souls will collide. But souls are complicated, as are the bodies that house them…

    Lyrics

    Few of Richard Matheson's readers know that he had hopes for writing popular music. At a very early age, Matheson taught himself how to write sheet music, but his family could not afford art supplies and so he had to give up composition. But music never left his mind and when Matheson found a creative new outlet through his writing (cheaper than music, requiring only a pencil and paper), he quickly began composing both prose stories as well as poetry. He picked up music composition again at the age of seventeen, adding music to his poems. Here in Lyrics are the compositions that Matheson created, in publication for the very first time.
  • Door into the Dark

    Door into the Dark

    Originally published in 1969, Seamus Heaney's Door into the Dark continues a furrow so startlingly opened in his first collection, Death of a Naturalist (1966). With the sensuosness and physicality of language that would become the hallmark of his early writing, these poems graphically depict the author's rural upbringing, from the local forge to the banks of Lough Neagh, concluding in the preserving waters of the bogland and a look ahead to his next book, Wintering Out (1972).
