In this breakthrough new book, author Craig Nakken describes just how typical families and couples who may have spent years creating a "we" can lose their identity and meaningfulness as a unit when a family member becomes addicted. Nakken helps readers understand the inexplicable-how the individual addict can abandon the "we" of family and return blindly and single-mindedly to the "me" of his or her pleasure. More importantly, however, Nakken reinforces a radical idea-recovery, both individually and as a couple, is possible.
