  This book presents a new approach to therapy with problem drinkers that focuses not on the past or the present but on the future , not on problems but on solutions . The authors ask readers to imagine that a miracle took place while they were asleep and their problem was instantly solved. What, ask the authors, would be the first thing the next morning that indicated that a miracle had taken place and their problem was solved? From that first thing , the authors help readers to imagine a future when drinking is not a problem and to specify small, concrete, obtainable goals that will make that future a reality. The individual learns to recognize exceptions (times when drinking is not a problem), catch himself doing things right , handle setbacks and revise the miracle picture when things are not working. The Miracle Method is a radically new approach to problem drinking.
