Are you loving someone who's trapped in addiction-and losing yourself in the process?

You're not alone. You're not crazy. And yes, your life can get better.

Help! I Think My Loved One Is an Alcoholic is a compassionate survival guide for anyone who loves an alcoholic-whether you're a spouse, partner, sibling, child, or friend. With clarity and empathy, author Michelle S. Fondin shares her personal experience alongside insights from interviews with ten alcoholics in long-term recovery.

This book will help you understand the disease of alcoholism, make sense of your loved one's behavior, and most importantly, regain your own sense of peace and self-worth.

Inside this book, you'll discover:

- What alcoholism really is-and what it's not (it's not a moral failing or a lack of willpower)

- How to recognize the signs of addiction and why your loved one drinks

- The emotional toll of lies, denial, blame, and manipulation-and how to navigate them

- Practical "action steps" to help you survive emotionally, mentally, and spiritually

- What early sobriety looks like (and why it's often confusing and messy)

-How to surrender, set boundaries, and find compassion without losing yourself

- A spiritual perspective on healing and connecting to God or a higher power

This book is for you if:

• You're exhausted trying to help an alcoholic change
• You feel like you're walking on eggshells
• You're struggling with guilt, resentment, or confusion
• You want to support your loved one, but not at the cost of your peace

With heartfelt support and practical tools, Michelle guides you through the roller coaster of addiction-from the first signs to early recovery-so you can reclaim your peace, clarity, and self-love.

You didn't cause the addiction. You can't control it. But you can survive it-and even grow through it.
