Narrado por: Jason Coombs

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.

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.

Self revelation.

I just finished your book. I have found it eye opening to my enabling of my son's addiction. It was hard to accept but I know deep down I was doing this all along. I now know I have to stop the way I allow him to manipulate me and put on my "Emotional raincoat "as you so very well put it. Thank you so very much for sharing your story. I know it is going to put me on the right path to recovery. God bless you and your family 🙏 As a side note I don't understand why it's so hard and expensive for people without the means to get long term in house treatment. Unfortunately that has been a hard obstacle to overcome for my son.

Incredible Understanding of the Addict

This book helped open my eyes to the reality an addict goes through and what their family goes through. As a long-time addiction recovery coach, this is by far the best book for understanding and some very easy guidance on how to help someone struggling with an addiction. I highly recommend it.
