Reviews
“Steven has done a masterful job in writing a book that will captivate and inspire not only those working in the addictive disease field, but also the addict, their family and the recovering. It is a story that precisely exemplifies the power of addiction and the miracle of recovery.”
– Ed Storti, Intervention Specialist
“Rarely do we see an individual in recovery dig so deeply into their own personal experience with addiction that they are not only able to connect with others who’ve shared similar experiences, but they are also able to grab the attention of anyone who’s ever known or worked with someone suffering from an addictive disease; Steven George has remarkably done just that in this powerful and important book.”
– Ken Seeley, Founder of Intervention911.com and Interventionist from A&E’s hit show Intervention

When Your Parents Need Elder Care: Lessons From The Front Lines

Product Description
“We have learned the great cost of not planning ahead. One cost was my mother going through more than a dozen moves in 5 years – hospitals, nursing homes, her own house, apartment, and assisted living. This was traumatic for her.”The fastest growing part of the aging population is the 85+ age group. As of 2005, more than 40% of US families are more concerned with caring for an aging parent than a child. But too many of us are unprepared for the decisions we make with and about our own parents — when their living situations prove inadequate and their health fails. And this, despite plenty of advice from websites, books, lawyers, tax attorneys and all the preparations our parents themselves may have made.Too often, this lack of preparation results in poorly thought out choices, trauma for the parent and misery for the adult child. This book targets the adult child’s dilemmas, arguing that planning for your parents’ aging is one of your own life stages and should begin while your parents are still healthy and able to discuss their preferences.

Product Description
What is the consequence of allowing the pain of your past to create your life today?
Kim’s compelling story is a case study in how our thoughts affect our reality. It shows how miracles happen when we embrace our own worth and become who we are meant to be.
Even though she has tried to outrun the pain all her life, in 2006, Kim, a successful businesswoman, comes face to face with her haunted past. Almost twelve years have passed since her intense emotional pain had turned into crushing migraine headaches. She now finds herself not only addicted to painkillers and alcohol, but also dealing with a mind that refuses to leave her alone. She begins to pray … to die.
Instead of dying, Kim experiences the miracle that brings her to sobriety. She finds herself very much alive and leading the life of her dreams. It is now that she receives the answer to her lifelong question, Why did all of this happen to a nice girl like me?
Kim’s story is powerful and written with courageous honesty. It takes the reader into the mind of a woman struggling to leave her past behind and find her self-worth. It’s through recovery that Kim finds spirituality and begins to walk the path into a life better than she’d ever imagined she could live.
This book is an inspirational must-read for anyone seeking to enrich the quality of his or her life.
