Publisher's summary

Loving Lions provides listeners with a glimpse into the darkness and confusion of addiction, from both the addict's perspective and the family's experience. The author provides a detailed description of his journey through active addiction, and the recovery process that led him back to his family, and to his future as the founder of Baystate Recovery Services.

The author uses a combination of relatable stories and raw, descriptive details of active addiction to highlight the conflicting feelings that addicts and their families face, from compassion and empathy to fear and confusion. He will take you on a tour through the family system from the perspective of an addict, providing insight on what may need to change in order to truly provide help and support for someone in that position.

His approach will help you redefine, and possibly reconsider, your approach toward addiction. Loving Lions is a genuine and emotional journey, and a must-listen for anyone who loves an addict. The practical tools and overall insights are invaluable in the fight to help someone struggling with addiction issues.

Loving Lions is an essential resource for families and friends of addicts, and for professionals in the recovery field.

Mike used his life experience to now help others!

I’ve known Mike for well over a year as we have engaged his services through Tipping Point Recovery. He is SO insightful from the addicts & family’s perspective. His book is very helpful at helping you change your mindset and help you realize when you as a loved one are falling back into old patterns. I have read his book and now re-listening to the audio version (often specific chapters multiple times). To be honest I don’t believe any book will be the sole thing that is going to help a family member step out of the chaos. I do think Mikes book will introduce you to how he operates and hopefully motivate you to enlist his services through Tipping Point. When the family changes the dynamic for the addict’s relationship with the family changes. It may not cause your loved one to be sober but it will allow you sanity back to your own life.
