About this listen
Are you feeling exasperated and helpless about your family member's addiction? Are you at your wit's end, having tried everything you can think of to make them stop? Whether the addict in your life is your spouse, partner, parent, child, friend, or colleague, the key to changing this reality for yourself lies in shifting your focus from your loved one's addiction to your own self-care.
This book presents a dramatically fresh approach to help you get off the roller-coaster chaos of addiction, maintain your own sanity and serenity, and live your best life.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 5
As the heart-wrenching personal stories in this book reveal, family members do not cause their loved one's addiction. Nor can they control or cure addiction. What family members can do is find support, set boundaries, detach with love, and eventually discover how to enjoy life whether their loved one finds recovery or not. Addict in the Family is a book about sorrow, deception, and pain. More importantly, it is a book of comfort, hope, and understanding for anyone struggling with a loved one's addiction.

Wonderful Resource to Have:
This book is a helpful resource. As a family member of an addict. It is not easy and few resources are given for us. Often family bond together supporting the addict and neglect their own needs. The book allows for practical steps to be used right away.
Thank-you, for creating this resource!!!!
Author has provided her book as a self help workbook. I found listening to it and then reading and recording my thoughts were very helpful.
