Finally a treatment approach that embraces the whole family
In one sense, alcoholics and drug addicts are the fortunate ones.
They have to learn a newway to live or risk death, incarceration,
and loss of everything they hold dear.
But what about the other members of their family? Because so many
of them believe that theaddict is the problem, they do nothing
about their own habits of mind and heart-and continueto live in
resentment, anger, and fear, feeding their own stress level and
shortening their lives in away that's very different from the
addict-yet, on another level, remarkably similar.
"Rewriting Life Scripts: Transformational Recovery for Families of
Addicts" contains information, explanation, and processes for
change. Following the steps outlined in this book brings peace
ofmind, forgiveness, reconciliation, and the ability-truly-to live
happily ever after.
