Our Children Are Alcoholics : Coping With Children Who Have Addictions

The purpose of this work is to provide relief and reassurance for beleagured parents of alcholics and addicts. The parents in these pages describe how they have found serenity even in the midst of chaos, and regardless of whether their addicted children are clean and sober. Recovery is a long process, with many setbacks, but there is hope for the parents, and the aim of this text is not to tell parents what to do "to get your child clean and sober", but to provide guidance on what role a parent may play in the recovery and how to react differently to the problem.
