#familyaddictions101 (ePub)

Forget everything you thought you knew about addiction.
After working with and listening to hundreds of people struggling with addictions, Lisa began formulating strategies for measuring success. What works and what doesn't? She knew there is no better source than the people struggling themselves. From talking to people with years of sobriety, to those panhandling on the streets, she began to see patterns which lead to an unyielding search for answers and advocacy for those that couldn't advocate for themselves.
