For those of us struggling with addiction of any variety and intensity in the family, the information in this book is cutting edge, the best for intervention with love. This book will guide folks and in helping an addict find help and hope. I highly recommend it! I think the narration could use an upgrade as the voice and delivery is dry. But! I still would advise the use of this Audible version if you like to listen as you go about life as I do. Lots to learn in this audiobook!

I have just gone through an intervention with the person closest to me in my life. Having this book to prepare me for it was unbelievably helpful. She agreed to the therapy and is currently in it. This is an extremely well researched and well written book.
