Are you feeling exasperated and helpless about your family member's addiction? Are you at your wit's end, having tried everything you can think of to make them stop? Whether the addict in your life is your spouse, partner, parent, child, friend, or colleague, the key to changing this reality for yourself lies in shifting your focus from your loved one's addiction to your own self-care.

This book presents a dramatically fresh approach to help you get off the roller-coaster chaos of addiction, maintain your own sanity and serenity, and live your best life.

This book cleared my head and gave me a starting point for my own healing. It's easy to understand and is incredibly helpful. I felt so lost before.... now, I understand my part in dealing with my partner's addiction and my own issues with enabling him. If there's no change, then there's no change. Everyone who loves an addict (or anyone suffering from enabling or codependency) and feels lost...you need this book. It's time to heal yourself.

Just what I needed

This book has definitely helped me to understand more about the addict in my life but to also understand that it is okay and very important to take care of myself during these hard times. Definitely learned so much throughout this listen!

This book was an excellent read. It really helps you to understand different levels of your codependency. It also helps you to understand how addiction could be affecting your life from the addict in your life. My favorite part of the book was the last chapter. The last chapter gives you strategies and a better understanding of how to reach out for help and how to get the proper help. For some people that may be easy, but for others they may struggle, so I really like how they ended this book.

Highly recommended

I loved this book! As a professional in the mental health and addiction field sometimes it can be hard to find literature for continuing education and to recommend to patients. This is a great book for both professionals and individuals seeking self help.

Great for professionals and self help
