There is hope on the horizon.

The Monster is a guide for those who have a loved one struggling with addiction. This work has already been used in support groups and with individual families around the country. The hidden battle in addiction is often the one fought by the family members who suffer along with the addict. This book shows them how they can help themselves and their loved ones escape from "the monster" of addiction.
