"Unlocking the Mind of an Addict has been a fascinating journey. When I first started writing this book I really did not know what I was getting into. I knew that addicts were different but I did not realize to what extent. When parents told me their child had two people inside one body, I knew I was onto something. What if I could expose how addicts are different and how they manipulate their loved ones to stay active in their addiction? Then I could ultimately decrease chaos in the family, misery and ultimately death.
As I researched and wrote about how addicts manipulate, it became clear to me that the families were the ones ultimately affected the most. Addicts are extremely cunning as the definition indicates, “crafty in the use of special resources.” I realized that the families are the special resources and it is through them that the battle will be fought and with the information in this book, ultimately won."
