The conventional wisdom offered to an addict's loved ones has been to let the addict \"hit bottom\" before intervening. Now intervention specialist Debra Jay challenges this belief and offers a bold new approach to treating addiction that provides a practical and spiritual lifeline to families struggling with alcohol or drug abuse. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003cb\u003eNo More Letting Go\u003c\/b\u003e, Jay argues that the traditional advice of \"letting go\" too often destroys both the addict and the family physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Jay contends that addiction is everybody's business-not just the addict's-and addiction doesn't have the right to trump the welfare of a family. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn short, highly accessible chapters written with warmth, understanding, and compassion, Jay weaves together philosophical and religious thought; new science on the brain function of an addict; the physical and psychological impact of addiction on family members; and poignant, real-life family stories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eNo More Letting Go\u003c\/b\u003e is a powerful, informative guide that provides comfort, hope, and practical advice to anyone affected by a family member's addiction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Debra Jay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bantam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/25\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.02h x 6.34w x 0.72d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780553383607\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2006 pg. 116\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/27\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDEBRA JAY is the co-author of the Hazelden Guidebooks, \u003cb\u003eLove First: A New Approach to Intervention\u003c\/b\u003e, and \u003cb\u003eAging and Addiction\u003c\/b\u003e.
