The Addict:
Until the Safety Net is Gone is for
readers with children, regardless
of their age, struggling with substance abuse or drug dependency. It’s for
readers looking for answers that will save them from sinking further into their
drug issues, spending time in torturous worry as they wonder where they are,
what they are doing, when they will be home. The Addict: Until the Safety Net
is Gone presents author Lori Miller’s story about how she dealt with a
son as he struggled with drug dependency. The story starts with the beginning
of his substance abuse at thirteen and continues through his teen years as his
drug dependency grew into The Addict, an entity that rose within him and
controlled his body as its own. Miller discusses her journey of providing
counseling for him while she learned to accept his need for more intense treatment
and the many things she learned along the way to his success.
“My
son started with prescription Vicodin, then proceeded to heroin because it was
cheaper. That is the normal progression for heroin users. My book highlights
the opioid issue on a personal level, regarding the effects on teenagers and
their families” said Miller.
Lori
Miller studied the science of addiction, spent years working with different
medical doctors, drug addiction specialists, and recovering drug addicts. She
understands people with a drug dependency because she has experience in dealing
with her son. Lori’s son grew into a successful and healthy young adult. She
has seen the success that different treatment approaches can bring. Lori uses
this knowledge to coach parents with children who have drug dependency issues.
She has received training on communicating with the drug dependent, survival
skills for their families, and parenting drug-dependent individuals.
