FREE yourself from a childhood with alcoholism
Growing up in a family with alcohol abuse can leave you significantly
scarred as an adult.
The addiction robbed you of a caring, nurturing, secure and playful
childhood, forcing you to become an adult too early.
A lack of attention and compassion stifled your ability to grow into a
whole person.
As an adult, you might experience personal and professional problems
related to feelings of abandonment or loneliness, relationship problems,
low self-esteem, unhealthy coping strategies, and lack of clear
boundaries.
If you have felt traumatized, anxious, and depressed throughout your
life, this is the book for you.
Through in-depth chapters and exercises, you will:
· Understand how families are shaped by alcohol addiction
· Gain insight into how trauma affects your body and your mind
· Learn how to build your self-esteem and become aware of your own
feelings
· How to identify unhealthy patterns and relationships and break free of
them
· Reshape your thoughts and beliefs about yourself and your future
This book offers extensive insight into the dynamics and consequences of
growing up with addiction.
It provides the help and compassion that addiction stole from you when
you were a child. In short, Raised in a Bottle offers new hope for reclaiming your own life.
