When there's an addict in the family, you may find yourself in a codependent role: trying so hard to keep your loved one alive, out of jail, or emotionally appeased that you actually prevent them from realizing they need help. Barnett offers a step-by-step guide to dealing with a loved one's addiction, coping with the emotional hurdles of having an addicted family member, and making informed decisions on how to best help them-- and yourself.
Understanding addiction -- Addicts' behavior--and your own -- Communication -- Setting strong boundaries -- Treatment options -- Supporting your loved one's recovery -- Healing family relationships -- The teenage addict -- Toward healthy independence -- Recovery for life -- Appendix: The 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous.
