Introducing When Your Heart Belongs To An Addict: A Healing Perspective

Littleton, 02/03/2017 /SubmitPressRelease123/

For each of the 24.1 million* people in the U.S. who suffer from substance abuse addiction, there are at least four people who love them. This means 120.5 million people including parents; siblings; relatives; friends; boyfriends, girlfriends; children; spouses; teachers and co-workers—suffer from the effects of drug addiction in the U.S.

Author Cyndee Rae Lutz has experienced the pain and powerlessness of watching someone she loved, get lost in addiction. In her new book When Your Heart Belongs to an Addict: a Healing Perspective (Flip the Hippo Publishing, February 2017), Lutz shows how her struggles with an addicted son have taught her about the addictions and afflictions we all confront—about individual frailties and the various ways we try to manage the unmanageable.

“This twisted form of love undermines what we so desperately wish to achieve and makes us lose our own way,” says Lutz, “but we are more powerful and more worthwhile than our addicted loved ones would have us believe.”

Lutz weaves the painful account of her son’s drug addiction with the healing strategies and spiritual wisdom that transformed her life—and can transform others, whether they’re facing a crisis or wanting to change direction. Her fusion of powerful ideas, concrete steps, and pertinent examples results in a book that both liberates and empowers the often-beleaguered family member or friend to reclaim their life. And this just might be the best thing they can do for their loved one. Often, when they get better, their loved one gets better too.
