Customer Reviews
Addiction and recovery, not a hope with this book!
I bought this book hoping to get some useful advice in supporting my loved one with drug and alcohol problems. I have never read such a depressing book. It made me feel totally despondent and that my partner was a hopeless case. If you really want some good advice may I suggest that you find something that can inspire you and help you to see that problems can be overcome.I would recommend a book with a more positive attitude. My partner is reading Allen Carrs book, How to stop drinking,and already feels encouraged and hopeful. Good luck!
