The stigma around addiction did not allow for day-to-day conversations, and it became a lonely path for you. And you constantly wished to find relief!
I was that mom. And I had to find the peace I sought because it was clear the common methods of helping an addicted loved one did not work. I had to understand the science, possible root causes, and spiritual aspect behind it. The journey helped me discover important steps for recovery, and I could not keep it to myself.
I found out, as common as addiction is, it is still not well understood, confronted, and treated.
You don't have to go through the power struggle, trying to help someone who is not ready for help, but you are still a very critical part of his recovery.

According to NIDA (National Institute of Drug Abuse), the year 2021 saw deaths by drug overdose surpassing the unthinkable milestone of 100,000, a clear indication that the numbers are increasing rapidly, and treatments are less effective.
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, and your son is still deep in addiction or relapsing often, this book offers other less talked about strategies you can use and succeed, and they may well be the turning point for you and your son.
