Critics Review
Beverly Conyers shares her ongoing experience and hard-earned wisdom in this updated edition of ‘Addict in the Family’. Full of clarity and comfort, new insights and inspiration, this book–this author–is a treasure for anyone who loves someone struggling with the disease of addiction. – Sandy Swenson, author of Tending Dandelions, The Joey Song, and Just Dandy.
For well over a decade Beverly Conyers’s “Addict in the Family” has been one of our a top recommendations for family members to read. Often we blame ourselves for a disease that we can not control. We experience many forms of grief for those living as well as those who we have lost. Beverly reminds us in her writing that we are not alone, we are not in control of others but we can control our reactions which in turn at times can become helpful to our loved ones. Also Beverly reminds us that there is HOPE and RECOVERY for both the family and the loved one experiencing addiction. I will be forever grateful for Beverly’s writing which also helps me heal in my journey. – Joanne Peterson, Founder and Executive Director, Learn to Cope, Inc.
