Hope Never Lost - A Collection of Five Mothers' Journeys Through Their Children's Addiction (Paperback)

Substance abuse in young adults has a profound impact on parents and the family structure. For mothers of children with addictions, the journey to recovery can be frequently confusing and persistently heart breaking, yet can also be graced with the abiding hope that only a mother can harbor for their child. Now, five mothers share their deeply personal accounts of their children's addictions in "Hope Never Lost: A Collection of Five Mothers' Journeys thru Their Child's Addiction." Parents who may be concerned about their young adult's behavior; those wishing to learn more on how to cope with addiction; and, most importantly, those living in the midst of it will find a rich resource and source of comfort. "Hope Never Lost" is certain to provide insight, empathy, and vital perspective to any parent facing this extremely trying circumstance. The first five chapters were written by mothers who met through their support group, SOS, with two subsequent chapters by therapists Jill Fine and Chris Wolf. Through each chapter, the book sheds new light on the impact of this disease on the child, the mother's life, and the rest of the family. In each story, the mother shares how she changed and how her child showed signs of change. This more than anything offered these mothers a renewed sense of hope. Compelling, informative, and, above all, rich in hope, this compassionate, clear-eyed perspective on this difficult experience is required reading for any parent struggling with a son's or daughter's addiction.
