From the Kilmarnock Standard, Ayrshire, Scotland:

Business writer airs his views on Radio 2

Jan 27 2006

A FREELANCE journalist who edits the Ayrshire Business page of the
Kilmarnock Standard was a guest on BBC Radio 2's Jeremy Vine Show
recently.

Murdoch MacDonald and his wife Lilian are the authors of a book that
sets out to prove that alcoholism is a behaviour problem rooted in
childhood.

The pair were on the Radio 2 lunchtime programme in the wake of
former Lib Dems' leader Charles Kennedy's revelation that he had a
drink problem.

Murdoch and Lilian did plug their book "Phoenix in a Bottle", but the
local authors also took the chance to air their argument that
Alcoholics Anonymous is "fundamentally flawed" and that alcoholism
itself is not an illness or a disease, but a self-harming behaviour
problem stemming from childhood.
