by Richard R. Peabody (Author), Carl Tuchy Palmieri (Author) TO Drink or Not To Drink--- The Common Sense of Drinking Is an Ideal book to give to someone who maybe questioning whether or not he or she has a drinking problem. "The Common Sense of Drinking" is a great recovery book for the newcomer In Alcoholics Anonymous. Many people find that a newcomer is more inclined to accept and read "To Drink or Not to Drink" rather than be given the AA big book immediately. Several Old timers in the program have found the book helpful in further cementing the idea that they have an incurable disease. It is also helpful as an aid in the completion of step one of any 12 step program. A must read for anyone who is stuck on Step one of the program as it is a direct common sense approach that meets the question of powerlessness in step one head on.
