• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Are you affected by family members, friends or colleagues who abuse substances (alcohol, drugs, other) or suffer addiction issues?

The 8 Paces provides support to help us cope and heal when substance abuse surrounds us. When we know somebody who abuses alcohol, drugs or other substances and/or has addiction issues, this does impact negatively on us and anyone else around them. This can lead to harmful changes in our thinking, feelings and behaviours. It's a heavy load for us to carry, deal with and manage. The 8 Paces is a powerful, playful, non-judgemental and very clear guide on how to drive us forward and lift us.

As the creator and author of The 8 Paces, you'll get to know me, whether you like me or not as I'm brutally honest. I've lived in and navigated through a hellish environment since 2009 and the insanity continues. This has been brought about by the behaviour of a family member (my son); a violent and self-destructive alcoholic and drug addict.

On top of this, my son's institutional incarcerations; I've lost count of his continual hospital and prison stints since the age of 15 and 21 respectively. Throw into the mix my volatile reactive behaviours and what do you get? One hell of a Molotov cocktail! The 8 Paces guides and supports me and doesn't leave my side. It's my constant companion and confidant.

The 8 Paces introduces you to the flipside of my pain caused by worry, anxiety, fear, rage, disgust, shame, grief; the list goes on and on. The 8 Paces shows with clarity and simplicity how I harnessed my pain and negativity (dark energy, demons) as they arose; flipped it, unlocked, powered up, transformed and surged onward and upward. We can all experience this regardless of what's happening in and around us.

We'll all get a taste of soaring with The 8 Paces by our side guiding us. When a family member abuses alcohol or drugs and is verging on addiction, many of us don't know where to turn, who to turn to, what to say, or admit there's a problem. Also and importantly, admitting how this affects us as many of us have forgotten about ourselves. The 8 Paces will resonate and touch those of us who are feeling overwhelmed and concerned, with the degree always varying; hour to hour, day to day.

The 8 Paces is structured into a two-part introduction followed by a chapter on each Pace. Each of them begins with one or two true stories in the context of me and my son. The stories are directly related to and aligned with the Pace and all of them are entertaining. Following the stories is a description of the respective Pace. Aligned statements and quotes are scattered throughout each Pace; they serve to inspire and shift mindsets.

The 8 Paces guides us through; flipping insanity to in sanity during turbulent times.
