| Summary, Etc. |
"You don't have to do this alone. Understanding addiction recovery changes everything. Loving someone in addiction recovery can be messy and confusing. You might carry guilt, anger, or a deep fear they'll relapse. You might walk on eggshells, wondering what to say or how to help. Here's the truth: You can't control their recovery. But you can learn about their journey, support them, and find healing for yourself. When You Love Someone in Recovery is rooted in personal experience and professional insight, walking you through the four foundational pillars of recovery -- hope, wellness, community, and service -- and equipping you to support your loved one without losing yourself. Addiction recovery expert and trained clinician Caroline Beidler will help you: release guilt and resentment; set healthy boundaries without shame; understand what the recovery journey is all about; and prioritize your own healing. When You Love Someone in Recovery includes reflection exercises, real-life stories from affected family members and people thriving in recovery, powerful evidence-based research on the body and brain. It's possible to support your loved one and still take care of yourself. Let this book show you how."-- Back cover.
