Why are some people more vulnerable to addiction than others? Why
isn't willpower enough to escape the lure of addiction? Why can't
enablers and co-dependents help the addict? Where can the addict
find hope? What are the keys to recovery? How can an addict stay
unhooked? Addiction is ugly and it's not curable. But it doesn't
have to be fatal-for the addict or the family. Many addicts survive
to live a better life, and broken families are often healed. But
admitting the condition, acknowledging the awful reality, requires
courage. And staying clean takes commitment and determination. The
temptation to abuse again is always present. But the power to
fight-and even begin the battle anew-lies within, sometimes just
beneath the surface and sometimes buried so deeply it seems
impossible to find. The trick is to unearth it before it is too
late. Dr. Sherry Hoppe and her sister Sylvia Yates wrote this book
to reveal how an average person can be caught in the far-reaching
and unrelenting tentacles of substance abuse. To put faces behind
the words, "I'm ____ and I'm an addict." To illustrate the injuries
inflicted on the victim and the family by addiction. To share
Sylvia's story and others like hers so you will know you are not
alone-that you're not so different after all-if you are an addict
or have an addict in your family. To offer hope when you feel
hopeless. Dr. Hoppe is a retired university president and author.
Sylvia is a former respiratory therapist and recovering addict.
