Support Through Loss, Hope, and Recovery
Beverly Conyers
- The
- family
- recovery
- classic,
- Addict
- in
- the
- Family,
- has
- been
- revised
- and
- updated
- to
- offer
- parents
- and
- other
- family
- members
- even
- greater
- support
- when
- faced
- with
- the
- reality
- of
- a
- loved
- one’s
- addiction.
- Solid,
- actionable
- advice
- and
- information
- about
- what
- helps
- and
- what
- doesn’t—and
- how
- to
- care
- for
- themselves—make
- this
- an
- indispensable
- guide.For
- families
- of
- addicts,
- fear,
- shame,
- and
- confusion
- over
- a
- loved
- one’s
- addiction
- can
- cause
- deep
- anxiety,
- sleepless
- nights,
- and
- even
- physical
- illness.
- The
- emotional
- distress
- family
- members
- suffer
- is
- often
- compounded
- by
- the
- belief
- that
- they
- somehow
- caused
- or
- contributed
- to
- their
- loved
- one’s
- addiction—or
- that
- they
- could
- have
- done
- something
- to
- prevent
- it.Addict
- in
- the
- Family
- is
- a
- book
- about
- the
- pain
- of
- addiction,
- but
- more
- importantly
- it
- is
- a
- book
- of
- comfort,
- understanding,
- and
- hope
- for
- anyone
- struggling
- with
- a
- loved
- one’s
- addiction.
- As
- the
- compelling
- personal
- stories
- reveal,
- family
- members
- do
- not
- cause
- their
- loved
- one’s
- addiction—nor
- can
- they
- control
- or
- cure
- it.
- What
- family
- members
- can
- do
- is
- find
- support,
- set
- boundaries,
- detach
- with
- love,
- and
- eventually
- discover
- how
- to
- enjoy
- life
- more
- fully.
- This
- book
- helps
- them
- do
- just
- that—whether
- the
- loved
- one
- achieves
- recovery
- or not.
