When Your Heart Belongs to an Addict: A Healing Perspective (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780997856408)

When Your Heart Belongs to an Addict, it changes how you view the world. What begins as an altruistic endeavor to free your loved one from addiction turns into an obsessive quest to "love" the addict into wellness. This twisted form of love undermines what you so desperately wish to achieve and makes you lose your own way.

Cyndee Rae Lutz has walked this path and has mentored others who share this difficult journey. Her struggles have taught her about the addictions and afflictions we all confront - about individual frailties and the various ways we try to manage the unmanageable.

In this book, she weaves the painful account of her son's drug addiction with the healing strategies and spiritual wisdom that transformed her life -- and can transform yours, whether you're facing a crisis or wanting to change direction. The result is a liberating and empowering process called "The 3 Rs for the Soul." This fusion of powerful ideas, pertinent examples, and concrete steps will help shine a light on your inherent worth, restore your sanity, and reclaim your life.

And it just might be the best thing you can do for your loved one. Often when you get better, they get better too.
