Jan5 Stars Out Of 5December 27, 2006JanCecil Murphey's "When Someone You Love Abuses Drugs or Alcohol" is marvelous. It is intended to be a short daily dose of encouragement, but I couldn't stop reading it. I felt comfort, conviction, relief, encouragment, motivation... well, the list could go on. The difference between "caretaking" and "caregiving" is addressed as well as where responsibiity lies - for both the addicted and the loved one. A short prayer is offered as a prompt for personally calling upon the One who truly understands...I highly recommend this book along with the other two in Cecil Murphey's "When Someone You Love..." series.

Jan Kern5 Stars Out Of 5January 2, 2007Jan KernOne reading after another, I found myself saying, Yes, thats how I feel, or That has happened to me too. I felt understood and also challenged and encouraged. Taking care of myself physically, emotionally, and spiritually is important even in the middle of the draining and unpredictable situations involved in loving someone who abuses drugs or alcohol. Finding the end of my abilities in the caregiving relationship is a good thing as I begin to learn Gods way to love. This is one of those books youll not only want to buy for yourself, but also to give out to counselors, pastors, friends, and family.
