The other face of addiction: Family and friends (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798264580819)

The other face of addiction gives a voice to those living around the epicenter-children, partners, and friends. With an honest, non-clinical lens, the author shares what he's learned while living alongside gambling and alcohol addiction, and offers practical tools to protect the family while still accompanying the person you love: understanding addiction and its ties to dishonesty and depression; telling support from rescue; setting boundaries; caring for children; getting through relapses; and, if recovery doesn't come, continuing to live without guilt. It includes warning signs, self-care guidelines, and an up-to-date directory of resources and support groups. Above all, it's a call to face stigma head-on and to remember something essential: you are not alone; there is a way forward-even when there's no perfect ending.
