About this title

Synopsis

The riveting true story of a young man’s descent into opioid and alcohol addiction, homelessness and violence, and his recovery journey—told by a son, now seven years sober and co-founder of a substance abuse treatment program, and his mother, a spiritual director and youth minister with more than twenty-six years of sobriety. Unchained: Our Family’s Addiction Mess Is Our Message is the inspiring story of one family’s efforts through their faith, the 12-step program, and a tough-love approach to help their son return home—as did the prodigal son of the Gospel—to forgiveness, love, and a renewed life. This book will provide hope for families grappling with the dark world of addiction.
