If an alcoholic learns to \"take his soul to task,\" it will bless family, friends, co-workers, and probably many others. If that same alcoholic looks out for the needs of others, and goes out of his or her way to serve another drinker, then that person will most certainly be blessed in some way.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe reader will probably come to this book with a particular role in mind.

So thinking about your own struggles is the best way to start. Welch's book admonishes the reader to be sure to look for addictions in their own hearts and lives.
