Summary

How do you get your addicted son to recover without the painful roller coaster even if you had tried it all before and failed many times? Please keep reading to find out….

You found out about the addiction and did what any mom should do…help! To your shock and disappointment, things got quickly out of hand, and he got worse! You got sucked into your son's addiction and realized how difficult it was to help him. The panic, fear, and pain have almost been too much to bear. The constant relapses and never-ending anxiety made you sick. You still do not understand it or know how to confront or treat it, but you are a very critical part of his recovery.

So, what do you do when all the treatments your son received have not stopped the addiction or relapses and he has rejected all your love and help?

In The 7 Steps to Help Your Son in Addiction Recovery, you will discover:

  • New approaches to help your child without the fear and exhaustion
  • The signs you missed before your son got addicted
  • The single most overlooked possible cause of addictions
  • Why all your love and attempts to help have failed
  • Why you are still the best person to help your son

And, much more….

Dr. Gabor Maté, a well-known addiction expert, advocates for a compassionate approach to addiction, whether in us or others, putting into consideration the emotional health aspects. He believes the source of addictions can be found in the early childhood environment rather than in genes. Therefore, even if you have done all you know to do, this audiobook discusses other less talked about strategies you can use and succeed in helping him.

So, if you want to recover your health and sanity, get him to choose recovery, stop the generational cycle of addiction, rebuild your relationships, and find peace, then you should listen to this audiobook today!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Very Valuable

This audiobook has been so helpful because I understood why people can get addicted. Therefore, I know how to treat the problem from the beginning. I already knew that moms are essential in recovering anything in our children's lives because we never get tired. We always try again, but sometimes we do not use the best method to help them. However, I have learned others facts from this book about our essential role in their recovery.

An essential

I am a teacher and work with teens that are struggling with addiction. I have recommended this book now to 2 mothers already and I'm sure I will be doing it again. This audiobook is an essential guide to help children combat their fears. The 7 Steps are concrete and explained in-depth for any parent, guardian, or teacher like me to comprehend. I have learned a lot from this book and feel I have the compassion now to go forward and help the teens that I work with more effectively.

Finally a solution!

I really enjoyed this book, and is a great option when you feel like nothing has worked in the past. My favorite part was the section on why everything you have done now has failed. It was extremely eye-opening. The author has a great tone and really understands what you are going through. Highly recommend to anyone that's not sure how to help their child with addiction recovery.
