Recovery Books For Addicts and Parents
My daughter, in re-hab read the ones for addicts and said they’re really helpful!
I can’t wait to read them, myself! I’ll be getting hers back very soon.
These books are about God and how to get through and recover from addiction. My daughter said she really liked them and they got her to thinking about things in a better way. And how to get close to God so he can help her.
Right now she’s in the jail re-hab, RSAT. I’ve talked to her once, she just went a week ago. She said she’s ok and that it’s hard but she feels like she needs to be there. RSAT is like boot camp. They wear boots, get up at 4 a.m. and they march a LOT! When they go outside to another building for a class, they march clear around the whole campus. She said her feet hurt and she’s tired, but still thinks it’s good for her.
I’m so happy she feels this way. I’m really surprised, I didn’t think she’d like all the marching. I think she feels like she needs the structure and discipline she’s learning. I have high hopes for her now!
I found these books online for parents. I haven’t read them, YET. I want to get some though. I just think they sound like good ones for us parents. This link is just to
I hope these help your kids and you too!!
