Alcohol addiction is not just a problem of “how to stop drinking.” In the “iceberg” of alcoholism, which pulls to the bottom, nine-tenths are fears and expectations from life that do not give rest. In the novel “Behind the Glass,” the author analyzes them based on dozens of life stories that are associated with drinking and its consequences. These stories are painfully frank, interesting and full of self-irony, albeit very bitter. But the main thing about them is that you yourself can learn and understand about yourself by reading them. This book is not only about alcohol and alcohol addiction. Many ideas and ideas in it can be scaled: why living consciously is better.
