Get Your Loved One Sober

Alternatives to Nagging, Pleading, and Threatening

Narrado por: Lynch Travis

Historically there have been few options available for individuals seeking help for treatment-resistant loved ones suffering from substance abuse. Co-author Dr. Robert Meyers spent ten years developing a treatment program that helps concerned significant others both improve the quality of their lives and learn how to make treatment an attractive option for their partners who are substance abusers. Get Your Loved One Sober describes this multi-faceted program that uses supportive, non-confrontational methods to engage substance abusers into treatment. Called Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT), the program uses scientifically validated behavioral principles to reduce the loved one's substance use and to encourage him or her to seek treatment. Equally important, CRAFT also helps loved ones reduce personal stress and introduce meaningful, new sources of satisfaction into their life.

Outstanding!

I appreciate their good approach to shared decisions and responsibilities. I am anxious to try it with my opioid dependent patients.

True help

Quite a perception change. This is not a mock up of other recovery programs. I hope that I can apply the principles to make life better for the people around me and those that are seeking help for recovery from their addictions

The Hard Truth About Addiction

A no-nonsense approach to helping a loved one with addition when all else has failed. If you live with or work with addiction, this book is a good read.

This doesn’t feel useful

I’ve listened to this book 2 times. I thought maybe I was too judgmental the first time I listened to this book. I thought I’d listen again. However, it was just as bad. There are very few things in this book that was worth listening to, the majority doesn’t seem like sage advice.

Poor advice

Puts people into pretzels trying to manipulate their loved ones into sobriety. It won’t work.

Focus on your own behaviors. It’s the only way to sanity.
