Book Description

November 1993 0931892775 978-0931892776
If your life and relationships have deteriorated because of chemical dependency, this book is specifically for you. It is for all who have lived through devasting pain, in search of serenity.

Love, Hope & Recovery will assist anyone willing to restore relationships affected by the disease of chemical dependency. Having seen families and spouses broken apart, and then healed through love, faith, and encouragement, Joann shows how it is possible to renew one's life.

Many years ago, Joann's own family placed her in the same residential treatment center where she is now the director of Family Education Services. A stimiluating and wise counselor, Joann helps the reader root out denial patterns and learn to recognize and talk about feelings while developing positive self-esteem. A detailed workbook section provides essential self-help exercises and specific skills to assist the whole family.


Editorial Reviews

Review

If you yourself have struggled with addiction, take this journey with Joann and move yourself to a new level of healing. If someone you love is struggling with addiction, this book could reach them and help them begin their journey of recovery. -- from the Foreword by Sharon Wegscheider-Cruse, author of Coupleship; Another Chance; and Choice Making.

About the Author

Joann Breeden is a recovering alcoholic with over nineteen years of sobriety. Following treatment in 1974 at Serenity Lane, a treatment center for addiction and co-dependency, in Eugene, Oregon, she volunteered at the center for one year as a nurse's aide. After extensive counseling training, she became a Certified Addiction Counselor, working over seventeen years counseling alcoholics/addicts and their families, with a focus on children and co-dependents' issues. She was co-founder of Serenity Lane's Family Program in 1977 and co-supervised the program for eleven years, gaining experience in areas of intervention, lecturing, teaching, and management of chemical dependency and co-dependency treatment. In 1984 she wrote a 34-page book entitled Chemical Family. The book is primarily clinical and covers the specific roles and behavior patterns developed in a chemical family system.
