Customer Reviews for Beacon Hill Press When Someone You Love Abuses Drugs or Alcohol
Beacon Hill Press When Someone You Love Abuses Drugs or Alcohol
Addiction. It's a trial we're never ready to encounter. We can't believe that a loved one would make such a life-altering mistake by entering into the dark world of drug or alcohol addiction. When people we love are struggling, we struggle as well. Sometimes we wish that we could fix their lives for them. But we also forget to care for our own needs, both physically and spiritually, during these difficult times. Cecil Murphey offers spiritual encouragement for people whose loved ones suffer from drug or alcohol addiction. These daily readings will help you focus on God in the midst of your trials.

Excellent book. I've enjoyed reading it. It explained exactly how I felt, but on another hand offered me some suggestions on how to get through.

One reading after another, I found myself saying, Yes, thats how I feel, or That has happened to me too. I felt understood and also challenged and encouraged. Taking care of myself physically, emotionally, and spiritually is important even in the middle of the draining and unpredictable situations involved in loving someone who abuses drugs or alcohol. Finding the end of my abilities in the caregiving relationship is a good thing as I begin to learn Gods way to love. This is one of those books youll not only want to buy for yourself, but also to give out to counselors, pastors, friends, and family.

Review 4 for When Someone You Love Abuses Drugs or Alcohol

Cecil Murphey's "When Someone You Love Abuses Drugs or Alcohol" is marvelous. It is intended to be a short daily dose of encouragement, but I couldn't stop reading it. I felt comfort, conviction, relief, encouragment, motivation... well, the list could go on. The difference between "caretaking" and "caregiving" is addressed as well as where responsibiity lies - for both the addicted and the loved one. A short prayer is offered as a prompt for personally calling upon the One who truly understands...I highly recommend this book along with the other two in Cecil Murphey's "When Someone You Love..." series.
