"EXCEPTIONAL! I am passionately in favour of this comprehensive review of perspectives and choices that speaks to ALL those in crisis and struggling in the confusing confines of alcohol addiction. This is a magnificent guide for anyone exploring recovery for themselves or a loved one because almost anyone reading it will find some truth in one or a few of the various methods that resonate with them and will be motivated to reclaim their life! Recovery requires a comprehensive approach and this book is the best testimony of that truth. Thank you Mr. Tirbutt! You are a hero and a healer."

"Anyone interested in trying to help someone who has a drink problem should read Help Them Beat the Booze. It is an inspirational book and will make a difference."

"This book is a well written, down to earth manual that has been sorely needed in the alcohol abuse arena. It takes a look at alcohol abuse from many of the viewpoints and individual struggles that many problem drinkers have. What I appreciate is that the approach is not from a 'one-size-fits-all' point of view. The approach is refreshing, positive and proactive. I'm so glad to see a book written from such a practical doable perspective."

"Help Them Beat the Booze is about a problem that in one way or another touches many families in the Western world. Yet many do manage to eventually overcome their problem with alcohol. The authors describe the wide variety of approaches available – and the need for persistence and an open mind about the various treatment options. This book is recommended for people wondering what to do about their alcohol problems – or their families or friends."

"Tirbutt's book is an informative and inspirational story that should be a must for all those caught up in a descending spiral of alcoholism. Tirbutt gives hope in a clear and amusing way which makes the book a real page turner."

"Anyone unfamiliar with this industry could gather together enough information from Help Them Beat the Booze to be able to ask the 'right questions' if they were shopping around for care of a loved one. It's an easy read because the writing style and information delivery is fluid and it integrates many experiences and opinions from professionals which 'Agree' for the most part."

"This work is inspiring, insightful and important. Living and coping with an alcoholic can be an overwhelmingly traumatic experience. Worse, it leads to self-defeating behaviour that only complicates the situation adversely. What distinguishes this book from several on the topic is its practical aspect: it draws upon real-life stories of persons who have dealt with the problem of another one's drinking. The case studies are easy to read and understand. Moreover, his book is a valuable guide for those who have not got success with traditional forms of recovery such as rehabs and self-help groups. It offers several alternative and proven routes to recovery. Reading this book can be an important first step in bringing sanity in an apparently chaotic situation and by giving hope in a seemingly hopeless scenario."

"I found the book very informative and unbiased as to various treatments and options available to recovery to suit the individual – so refreshing as for a long time I was stuck in the Twelve Step programme and believed in no other. I enjoyed the book's non-patronising tone and the understanding that no-one can fix the problem drinker – family members or loved ones can only help themselves and not 'sort this problem out for someone else'."
