I Love You, More: Short Stories of Addiction, Recovery, and Loss From the Family's Perspective - Couverture souple
Synopsis
When someone you love is fighting addiction, your story matters too.
I Love You, More tells that story. Through three short, fictional narratives drawn from real experience, it follows the parents, partners, and siblings left to navigate the fear, anger, hope, and grief of loving someone with a substance use disorder. Each story ends differently, because in real life recovery sometimes happens and sometimes does not.
Written by Blake Cohen, a former addiction counselor in long-term recovery since 2012, these stories give voice to the people addiction usually leaves unheard: the family.
This book is for you if you are:
- A parent, spouse, sibling, or adult child of someone struggling with alcohol or drugs
- Working through codependency, enabling, or the exhausting work of detaching with love
- A counselor, therapist, or recovery professional who wants to understand the family's side
- Looking for a short, honest read for a support group, a waiting room, or your own healing
Discussion questions follow each story, so it works as easily for an Al-Anon meeting or a book club as it does for a quiet night alone.
You cannot make your loved one better. But you can feel less alone, and you can learn to take care of yourself through all of it. That is what these pages are for.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. The compulsion to use substances tends to drain every ounce of life from an individual, but this is often equally as true for their family.Most family members do not know where to turn for support and guidance when a child, parent or spouse becomes ill. Society offers little to educate the public or de-stigmatize the problem of addiction.I Love You More is distinct and unique from other books on the market on addiction as it is meant to be an emotional education on the family systems affected by addiction using three, fictional short stories, all with very different endings.These three powerful stories have common threads of hope, pain, mistrust, grief, worry, change, acceptance, belief, and the constant presence of varying levels of sanity across a broad spectrum.I Love You More offers insight into the various perspectives and experiences of family members who have dealt with the harrowing disease of addiction. The goal of this quick, easy-to-read, book is to be the conduit that allows you to enter the body and mind of a substance abuser and their family, to see the world through their eyes as they navigate their way through one of the most heart-breaking and gut-wrenching hardships they will ever face.The author, Blake Cohen, is currently in recovery from a substance use disorder himself for multiple years. He has a bachelor's degree in psychology, is a Certified Addictions Professional, and is currently earning his Master's degree in the field of Leadership. He currently works in the field of substance abuse treatment as an Interventionist and Recovery/Family Coach. Blake's role allows him to be of assistance to families, and their loved ones, as they begin their journey into recovery. Blake is also a public speaker using his experience and education to help bring understanding to the public regarding the disease of addiction.From mothers to fathers to siblings to aunts and uncles to grandmothers and grandfathers, as well the individuals struggling themselves, these stories contain emotional tidbits from the author's years in the treatment field, interviews with families, and his own personal experiences.The hardest thing for a person to do is watch a loved one slowly kill themselves while you standby; unable to do anything about it. For the family, addiction is frustrating, heart-wrenching, exhausting and time-consuming. It can lead to bouts of anger followed by bouts of hysteria. It can leave you bed-ridden and paralyzed by insurmountable sadness and depression.Although we cannot make our loved ones better, we can learn to take care of ourselves through it all. This book is emotional support for anyone and everyone whose lives have been touched by addiction. N° de réf. du vendeur 00102246285
