Alcoholic Relationship Survival Guide

By Doug Kelley

With Tracy Kelley


Read the book that was 47 years 

in the making, and 5 years in the writing!

The Complete & Finished ER Guide is Now Available!


The Alcoholic Relationship Survival Guide has been helping nonalcoholics resolve alcoholic relationships since 2001. This is no ordinary recovery book, it is a powerful resource that explains the dynamics of an alcoholic relationship from a nonalcoholic perspective. It will explain the why's and how's of your situation in an easy-to-understand-but-no-holds-barred style that will encourage you, comfort you, anger you, and then help you to resolve your difficult situation in the most healthy and beneficial way possible. 

It will teach you healthy and effective ways to respond to alcoholic dysfunction and verbal abuse. You will also learn how to set healthy boundaries and reinvent yourself into a "New You." After reading this book you will not only understand your situation much more clearly, but you will also know what steps to take next. This book is a greatly expanded version of the information on this website. You owe it to yourself and any children you may have to read it as soon as possible. The sooner you do, the sooner you will be free from alcoholic enslavement.

Alcoholic Relationship Issues


This 3 1/4 Hour Audio Program is a Supplement 

to ER's Guide Above; It Does Not Replace it


Candid Conversations with Doug & Tracy Kelley is NOT simply a rehash of the Alcoholic Relationship Survival Guide above. This program takes critical and sensitive alcoholic relationship issues to a higher level that can only be accomplished verbally. 

It discusses how to respond effectively to the alcoholic when the situation is tense; how and what to say to children to help them understand; assertive communication techniques and role plays; how to establish and maintain your boundaries; how to boost your self-esteem; common reasons why people remain in abusive alcoholic relationships and how to get out; how to not backslide once you've made a decision to leave the relationship; how to reinvent yourself, and so much more! This program includes some information not found in the book.
