Synopsis :

SARAH MICHAUD'S CO-CRAZY BEGINS WITH a chronicle of growing up in a family with alcoholism that eventually led to a harrowing journey and downward spiral into drug and alcohol addiction. Her inspiring recovery is deeply authentic, and Michaud's vivid descriptions are both heartbreaking and illuminating. Co-Crazy encourages a path to recovery and is for anyone who also struggles with addiction and codependency. Michaud offers her own life-changing story as a backdrop to her no-nonsense advice, tips, and case studies. The author's comprehensive prescription for recovery is outlined in a step-by-step guide that will assist readers to combat, and perhaps defeat, one of the most pervasive and insidious problems in our culture.

If you are suffering in a relationship where you want someone to be different and you feel stuck, this book will help you. If you discover that your partner or loved one is using drugs or alcohol, this book will help you. If you feel it is difficult to stand up for yourself and set healthy boundaries, this book will help you. If you are overwhelmed by the people you love and care for because you feel responsible for their unhealthy behavior, this book will help you.

Co-Crazy identifies what unconscious feelings are running our lives without our even knowing it. It will give you the tools to begin to speak for yourself and learn how to tolerate your "feeling states." Finally, Co-Crazy is about facing your truth and embracing your new life.

À propos de l?auteur: Dr. Sarah Michaud PsyD is a clinical psychologist with a private practice in Central Massachusetts. For over thirty years her main field of practice has been helping families and individuals recover from drug and alcohol addiction as well as from the many unhealthy co-dependencies that occur. She completed her doctorate program at the California School of Professional Psychology (San Diego), then moved back to Boston to work at a well-known psychiatric hospital, where she helped to open a residential program for dually diagnosed clients. Sarah's unique position as an authority in the field is also due to growing up in an alcoholic household, becoming addicted to alcohol and cocaine, and marrying two addicts in recovery. Her own struggle into recovery from addiction and relationship insanity is an inspirationfor all readers. As Michaud says, "I lost myself and found myself many times-hopefully to be solid enough now to not get lost again or at least find my way back more quickly." Co-Crazy provides clear, attainable, no-nonsense advice for millions of families who have suffered the human cost of addiction and codependency. The author lives outside of Boston.
