Publisher's summary

This book is designed to help you learn how to cope with addicts, alcoholics or substance abusers. Like most people, you are probably exhausted from trying to cope with all of the lies, arguments, anger, broken trust, stealing, manipulation, and insane behaviors that accompany having a relationship with an addict.

Perhaps you have lost all hope for change and find yourself caught between loving who the substance abuser once was with all of your heart and hating the addict that they have become. At times, you may feel like you are on a wild rollercoaster ride of emotions with every intense mood swing that accompanies interacting with the substance abuser.

The author of How To Deal With an Addict has helped tens of thousands of people all over the world learn how to cope with alcoholics, addicts, and substance abusers, and he can help you too.

Your situation is not hopeless, so don't give up!

Inside this book about coping with an addict you will learn:

  • How to love anyone unconditionally
  • How to detach with love
  • How to not be an enabler
  • How to set boundaries
  • How to not argue
  • How to break the constant obsession
  • How to not be a doormat
  • How to find peace within that you are so desperately in need of

It doesn't matter if the addict in your life is a friend, family member, coworker, spouse, girlfriend, boyfriend, prescription pill user, functioning alcoholic or hardcore drug user, the life changing lessons that JC has compiled for you will have a positive impact on your life.

If you are sick and tired of arguing, being lied to, being abused, being blamed for everything, always taking second place to substance abuse, being treated like a doormat, and constantly obsessing over what the addict is or is not doing, then you are ready for the proven methods used when dealing with addicts found in this book.

Very reassuring and spot on

I really appreciate this book. I had to finally admit that I am dealing personally with a drug addict. I really love this person, but have had to set boundaries and this book. I am listening to over and over again to get reassurance. Thank you for writing this.

Good advice. A little heavy on God.

I know God works for some people. Not me so much. I would say this was about 30% God and the rest was good, solid advice.

Different personalities are not covered.

I'm not finding this information applicable as my son is never arguementive and in my face. He quietly spends his time in his bedroom drinking and gaming.
