Resumen del Editor

Is someone you love addicted? Have you found yourself wondering if all efforts to "help" or "fix" your loved one are really going in the right direction? Addictions to prescription meds, opioids, alcohol and other substances are growing at exponential rates and ripping our families apart. What are the best strategies to help someone in bondage to a substance that drive real results?

When Jason Coombs' mother discovered her son was addicted to drugs and alcohol, she searched everywhere for resources and guidance that would grant her a spark of hope. She researched websites on the topic only to find a mixed bag of mediocre suggestions and an array of conflicting opinions. She was desperate for tools that could drive measurable results. Yet, her seemingly endless search for helpful guidance led her down a rabbit hole with no end in sight.

Unhooked is the book, written by her recovered son, now leading his own treatment center, she wishes would have been available back then.

Share with all dealing with addiction

Increíble. I wish I had read this 20 yrs ago. So grateful to be part of the recovery movement
We must keep talking about this painful crisis

Great Book

Such a compelling story. Great help as I work with my son dealing with issues. Helped me understand what I need to do going forward.

Life Changing

I have stacks of good books on recovery, and I’ve gained a lot from all of them. But the book, Unhooked, was an absolute game changer for me. It gave me real direction that I could grasp and implement. It was so freeing to take an action with confidence instead of with worry, self-doubt & guilt. I can’t believe how much better I feel. I even listen to the book over & over again, because I just love listening to the authors account of his journey. Phenomenal!!

A must read if you have an addiction in your life

There are many books but which do you choose? This one. I’ve learned not only about the perspective of the addict but tools on how to cope. Take notes as you listen, it will help you. It is also filled with other references as well. Thank you Jason for sharing with us your tragedy and your triumph.

Eye opening experience for me on the change I need to make.

It’s taking me a while to get to this point to realize that I have to step aside and let my daughter fail before things will get better putting it into practice will be a whole other matter. I contributed to making her into an addict with my stern spirt crushing discipline style. No I have to pray my way out of it .

Very good!

I will recommend this to my clients and their families! This is an excellent book on addiction and recovery.

A must read for family members of someone addicted to drugs!

I cannot recommend this book enough. It has changed our family forever!!! Not only does he share his story, which help in understanding the mindset of an addict. But he also provides guidance for how to respond effective and support without enabling. This book will change you, I promise!

Great book!

As a family member of an addict, this was a great resource. There is a fine line between helping and enabling and this book helps define those lines.
