About the Course

Over the last twenty years, the conventional wisdom offered to an addict's loved ones has been detachment--that addicts can't be helped until they "hit bottom". Now intervention specialist Debra Jay challenges this belief and offers a bold new approach that provides a practical and spiritual lifeline to families struggling with alcohol or drug abuse. Jay contends that addiction is everybody's business--not just the addict's--and addiction doesn't have the right to trump the welfare of the family. Weaving together philosophical and religious thought, new brain science, and poignant real-life family stories, she offers comfort, hope, and help to anyone affected by a family members addiction.

This course is based on the book, No More Letting Go: The Spirituality of Taking Action Against Alcoholism and Drug Addiction created by Debra Jay
