I’m so excited to announce a much needed book Learning to Love Differently by Candace Hartzler, my good friend and an expert in the addiction field. Follow her on Facebook.
Today’s new media offers detailed coverage of “the epidemic,” but offers little insight into a healing process for family members impacted by a loved one’s substance use disorder. Learning to Love Differently guides families through that rocky landscape. It offers:
•A definition of addiction and codependency without shame/blame
•A clear and simple look at how complex love becomes during addiction
•Personal recovery stories from author, from addicts and family members
•Tools for self-reflection, referred to as “Story Pages,” at end of each chapter
•A name for the family pain as well as strategies for change.
When available (soon), it can be purchased here.
