Synopsis

This book gives you an opportunity to learn and understand human nature regarding both an individual with an addiction challenge and self. The dialogue format gives you insight as to how human beings view a variety of emotional stages in our lives and how these emotions have a direct relationship with how those emotions dictate the individuals response affecting their decisions. It opens up your mind to a clear understanding of how to help addicted challenged individuals move from the label to that of understanding themselves and oneself in the process of real unconditional support both the caregiver and the recipient.
