About this listen
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.

Story
Joining a boxing gym is intimidating for beginners. Causing most people who have the desire to start boxing, to miss out on the mental and physical benefits that you gain from boxing—I want to stop this. I was once very lazy; I lacked discipline and was generally scared to try anything that looked difficult. You most likely find yourself in that position, but enough is enough; it is time to improve yourself.

Gaslighting has been a frequent subject of pop culture references. But sadly, gaslighting isn't limited to the big screen—it is the harsh reality of millions of men across the globe. Gaslighters hijack your life by rejecting your feelings, questioning your version of events, and altering your beliefs. Thus, making you question your sanity and changing your outlook on life. Replacing who you were with the version of you they want so they can gain power over you through manipulation and keep control.

We occasionally see a television show with a daily segment called "The Worse Person on Earth". During this episode, the correspondent selects a few persons he believes have said or done anything deserving of his arrogant scorn. Numerous mental health experts may have used the term "worst patients on the planet" to describe persons with borderline personality disorder (BPD) not long ago.

You may think you don’t have the time or the money to start a big permaculture project. But permaculture doesn’t need to be overwhelming. You can start as small as you like, and you can move at a pace that suits you. Don’t feel you have to learn everything in one go and rush out to transform a whole wilderness in a year. Just deal in manageable chunks, and you’ll do just fine. Even if all you have done is tend to a few tomato plants on your window ledge, you can become an expert gardener; all it takes is a little time, patience, and practice.

Many parents dread talking to their kids about money in fear of opening pandora’s box. But firstly, that box is probably already open; you will be surprised at what kids soak up from their friends, what they see on TV and on social media, and what they hear you talking about at home. And secondly, if it isn’t already, it likely will be soon, and this will be out of your control. It may be better if we actually open this box from time to time anyway. Not talking to your kids about money can actually make them think that money is something to fear.

Take Notes!!!!
Obviously not a book anyone wants to have to purchase but it is a necessary guide in todays world.
I thought the author had a lot of good insights and she had really done her research. I was beyond glad to find someone who both understood the struggle and pain that comes with helping an addict but also someone who had a lot of helpful information to share.
Also, really glad I could download the PDF to highlight certain sections.

There is scientific material as well as spiritual support , which is so helpful and not often seen together. I have many books in this subject and really like how this specifically combines science and spiritual aspects of addiction along with steps to help address both subjects.
