Once again I would like to recommend one of my favorite books on the subject. Written by authors Robert J. Meyers and Brenda L. Wolf, the book Get Your Loved One Sober: Alternatives to Nagging, Pleading and Threatening focuses on helping relatives to people with an alcohol- or drug addiction. The goal is to improve the relatives current life situation and to guide their loved ones into treatment.
This is an inspiring and encouraging book which builds on the successful and evidence-based treatment program CRAFT (Community Reinforcement and Family Training), founded by Robert J.Meyers.
Robert J.Meyers is a Research Associate Professor in Psychology at the University of New Mexico's Center on Alcoholism, Substance Abuse and Addiction. He has dedicated many years developing ways to help relatives to people suffering from alcohol- or drug abuse. Meyers has traveled world wide in order to help people suffering from the consequences of addiction.

I highly recommend Getting Your Loved one Sober to all the relatives who feel as they can't find a way to help themselves or their loved ones!

Take care!
Are you a relative of a person who has an addiction problem? Alcohol, drugs and other addictions have destructive consequences for those who are close. It could be your parent, your child, partner, colleague or another person you care much about. Are you often worried about the person and a lot of your energy goes into trying to help the addict? This blog aims to provide support, knowledge and share experiences about being affected of someone else´s substance use.
