This book is a 31 day step by step plan to help you maintain your own mental capacity while dealing with an addict or alcoholic. Some of the tips are to not blame yourself, accept the fact that you can’t make an addict stop and you can’t control their behavior. The addict must make those choices themselves. Try to defuse volatile situations by simply not arguing and use the “Three S” rule of step back, shut up, and smile because an addict feels empowered by using anger or anxiety to control situations and shift blame to other people. Remember to be kind to yourself and that change takes time.
