I picked this book up last night from the library and just started reading it over lunch today. I am on page 7 of the intro, Hope in Hell, and I can tell this is going to be an amazing book. Can't wait to get more into it!!
This book is going to be filled with OMG moments for me. Already I have slowed down my reading pace (I usually read very fast) and point 1 (under "What can I do right now?") has me hooked. It says, terms like "tough love, enabling, codependency and detach with love" confuse us and leave us feeling guilty and blamed. One man wondered about making waffles for his daughter because she still smoked pot.
Yes, yes, yes! This is me! I feel confused and guilty. I worry that I enable simply by smiling at him in the morning after he has had a drinking binge. I am so excited about this book!
