Addiction Recovery: A Family’s Journey
Author: Diana Clark
This book documents the journey of addiction recovery. Simply defined, recovery is the practice of behavioural, psychological and spiritual changes, beginning with abstinence, that encourages (and reflects) a healthy life. It explores the progression from active addiction to recovery and what it takes to succeed, in particular, what family members and those trusted by the family can do to help.
