Hello Everyone,

I wrote two serious books on Alcohol and drug Abuse. My reason was from losing a husband and grown daughter to theirs. I wanted to show how I had no knowledge of their habit and wanted to share what I should have done better. With Someone Stop This Merry-Go-Round you will learn:

1. How enabling only brings the substance abuser deeper into their addiction.

2. How fights only makes a distance between you both. Listening is more loving and takes down the walls.

3. The silent treatment only pushes the problem in the background.

4. Don't make threats you can't keep.

5. allowing the action to go on too long, starts the blackout.

6. How to leave safely without putting your life in danger

Book Two: Please, God, Not Two

1. When your child starts hanging out with new friends

2. Skipping school

3. Not realizing this I can be a family disease

4. Getting them help before the age of 18 years old or they will be able to refuse help

5. Stop keeping the blinders on thinking it's a FAZE.

6. Don't believe in "They have to reach rock bottom: Richie and Lori's was their death

7. Get them help if they go hating you. At least they will be alive

Both books show my action and what I should have done. The sequel Please, God, Not Two, gives my talks behind closed doors to the substance abusers.

I have the conclusion, a Narrative Nonfiction, to both books The Mindset of an Alcoholic and Addict: 34 Americans and Canadians Share Their Struggle with Alcohol and Drugs, with an agent. Hopefully, a publisher will believe in this book as writing and stories that will help many: doctors, counselors, family members, the substance abuser, and the public to understand what we all need to do to get the addict into recovery.
