It can be your husband or wife or it can be someone you’re working with daily.In almost every society, alcohol problems are the most common, but there are many forms of abuse – narcotics, medicine, gambling, food and sex to name just a few.Family and relatives of substance abusers live with a mountain of worry, concern, heart-break and anxiety and often carry a great deal of sorrow and live under high stress.If you are a family member, you’ve probably tried everything you can think of to get your loved one to understand the consequences of addiction but feel like you just can’t reach them.Then this book is for you.
