Loving an addict hurts in ways no one prepares you for. Promises are made. Trust is broken. Hope rises. Hope crashes. You begin to doubt your reality, your instincts, and eventually yourself. You Love an Addict is a raw, grounding guide for those caught in the emotional crossfire of addiction. It explains the psychological and emotional dynamics that keep loved ones stuck-without shaming, blaming, or sugarcoating.
This book speaks to partners, parents, friends, and family members who love someone struggling with substance use and feel lost in the process. You'll learn: Why addiction feels personal even when it isn't How love turns into survival mode Why "just leave" is rarely that simple How to protect your heart without abandoning it This isn't a recovery book for the addict. It's a recovery book for you.
