Overview

"It will never happen to me" is spoken by all who have been raised in a family where one or both parents have a problem with addiction. In addictive families most children move through adolescence appearing to survive the problems and hardships of life. They abide by the laws -- Don't Talk, Don't Trust, Don't Feel. The survival techniques practiced as children contribute to a variety of problems in adulthood among them depression, inability to maintain intimate relationships, marrying an addict, or becoming addicted. This revised and updated version of It Will Never Happen to Me moves the reader from alcoholism to addiction and addictive disorders, and expands upon family rules, roles, violence and shame. While continuing to recognize alcohol as the primary addiction within families, this edition broadens the concepts to include addictive disorders such as other drugs, money related addictions, food disorders, relationship, sex and work addictions. This book is heralded as the primer for all who want a better understanding of what it means to grow up with addiction. www.claudiablack.com.
