I’m reading and reviewing some books that I know will be helpful for my clients and for my potential clients. These books answer questions about addiction, alcoholism and recovery. The propose solutions. Most of all, they offer hope.
Recommended Books is the place to see some of the books I recommend.
Sometimes, when I read a passage, I think, I know that, I should just tell it. Then I think, why recreate the wheel? What I need to do is reinforce and share the message, and let suffering families know that I am here to help them map out and implement the plan for their particular situation. Information is great, but translating and implementing it, taking the difficult actions is so much easier with support. You, the family and friends, support the addict, who supports YOU????
Today’s recommendations: No More Letting Go by Debra Jay. Debra has a warm and conversational way of talking about what happens to families as a result of having an addict or alcoholic in the system. She also clarifies some of the “conventional” wisdom that is often misunderstood to mean “stand by and let the addict hit bottom. It is ALWAYS a good time to take action to keep addiction from taking down the whole family and giving the addict or alcoholic opportunities to accept help.
