Rewriting Life Scripts
by Liliane Desjardins, Nancy Oelklaus & Irene Watson

In one sense, alcoholics and drug addicts are the fortunate ones. They have to learn a new way to live or risk death, incarceration, and loss of everything they hold dear.

What about the other members of their family? They believe the addict has a problem but they do nothing about their own habits of mind and heart...and continue to live in resentment, anger, and fear, feeding their own  level, remarkably similar.

Rewriting Life Scripts: Transformational Recovery for Families of Addicts contains information, explanation, and processes for change. The steps in this book brings peace of mind, forgiveness, reconciliatin, and the ability ...truly ...to live happily ever after.

Alcohol/Drug abuse is a "Family Disease" and this book is for the family members, abusers and anyone trying to help a person struggling with this disease.
