Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The family recovery classic, Addict in the Family, has been revised and updated to offer parents and other family members even greater support when faced with the reality of a loved one’s addiction. Solid, actionable advice and information about what helps and what doesn’t—and how to care for themselves—make this an indispensable guide. For families of addicts, fear, shame, and confusion over a loved one’s addiction can cause deep anxiety, sleepless nights, and even physical illness. The emotional distress family members suffer is often compounded by the belief that they somehow caused or contributed to their loved one’s addiction—or that they could have done something to prevent it. Addict in the Family is a book about the pain of addiction, but more importantly it is a book of comfort, understanding, and hope for anyone struggling with a loved one’s addiction. As the compelling personal stories reveal, family members do not cause their loved one’s addiction—nor can they control or cure it. What family members can do is find support, set boundaries, detach with love, and eventually discover how to enjoy life more fully. This book helps them do just that—whether the loved one achieves recovery or not.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recover All is a needed and telling guide enabling family members, companions, and friends of a chemically dependent person to comprehend the process of addiction. Written from a unique, dynamic perspective, the book equips loved ones of a chemically dependent person with practical tools to find help for the one close to them. Having been diagnosed a chemically dependent polysubstance abuser at age twelve, author Rob Reid entered treatment more than nine times. After his ultimate recovery from the addictive hopelessness he once knew, Reid worked in a long-term residential drug and alcohol recovery program for men. While working hands-on with addicts and their families, Reid noticed a dire need to bridge the chasm of understanding between chemically dependent persons and their loved ones. The work opens by addressing what addiction is, how it develops, and the dynamics of the addictive personality. Most, however, this book shares real-life experiences from both the personal and treatment-administration perspectives. Such rare, two-perspective insight communicates the experience, strength, and hope that any person with a chemically dependent loved one longs for. Recover All not only shares information about addiction, but it also addresses fundamental issues and questions facing loved ones of those struggling with addiction. These issues include identifying the signs of addiction, dealing with denial both in the addict and among the addict's family and friends, overcoming rationalization, identifying and preventing manipulation, dealing with selfishness, and saying no effectively. Recover All provides a sensible, realistic overview of chemical dependency treatment options as well as a simple method for determining the usefulness of each treatment option in specific circumstances. Reid concludes by outlining the phenomenon of relapse and by providing the ten most detrimental behaviors a family member or friend could exhibit in a loved one's recovery process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For those of us in recovery, finding our moral and spiritual footing can be Addiction to chemicals can cloud our moral clarity; so can crisis. As we add concern about coronavirus to our days, we can keep discerning and choosing what's good for ourselves and the ones we love. For those of us in recovery, finding our moral and spiritual footing can be a struggle. The pursuit of drugs and alcohol has long driven our choices and actions, leaving the line between right and wrong blurred in the wake of addiction. In Finding Your Moral Compass, Craig Nakken, author of the best-selling book The Addictive Personality, gives readers in recovery the model and tools needed to make life decisions in the pursuit of good. He offers 41 universally accepted principles, paired as positive and negative counterparts that guide behavior. He then inspires us with one fundamental challenge: To take responsibility for being a force for good by applying these principles to our daily lives. He encourages us to show empathy, be of service to others, and make the choice to stop being an agent of harm.When Nakken, a former addict, became clean and sober, he faced the "evil" inside of himself. It was then that he found his moral compass and made the decision to take responsibility for his actions using the Twelve Steps as his guide. He has taught hundreds in recovery to live by the principles of good, one day at a time.About the author Craig Nakken is the author of several Hazelden titles, including the perennial bestseller The Addictive Personality. He is a popular public speaker and a highly respected private practice counselor, with years of working in the frontlines in a number of treatment facilities.
