Book Description
"Living with addiction is not a spectator sport! Whether men admit it or not we are affected. Well written, insightful and to the point, We Codependent Men, finally discusses the missing pieces for men whose lives are touched by addiction. Without a doubt I recommend this book for those men in need of healing and to those who love them. Robert J. Ackerman, Ph.D., Author, Silent Sons; and Chairman of Sociology Department, University of Pennsylvania_____________________________________________________________________________ Finally! A book that gives a powerful voice to the quiet and hurtful truth of men whose lives are shattered by the addictions of those they love. A landmark book, We Codependent Men, plants the seeds of empowerment and provides real-life solutions for the enabler to reclaim his sanity. This must-read, life-changing book will catapult you from chaos to calm, and provide you with the valuable insights and tools youll need to not just survive, but thrive! Youll want to revisit these pages again and again... J. Carol Pereyra, Editor-in-Chief, Going Bonkers Magazine______________________________________________________________________________ There is a need for this book for codependent men. In my association with the many men and women who attend 12-Step Retreats at Holy Name Passionist Retreat Center, the codependent men have the greatest fear and the least knowledge or understanding of their relationship with the addicted person in their life. As the man in the family, they are supposed to have the answers and they dont. This book begins to give some answers. Fr. Joseph Moons, Director of 12-Step Retreats, Holy Name Retreat Center, Houston, Texas________________________________________________________________________ You are not alone and there is help!
