In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Daniella Jackson, Ph.D., LMHC provides an insightful, informative resource for adult children of alcoholics - and the clinicians who work with them - on the positive benefits and transformations that result from long-term engagement in a recovery program. Drawing from extensive original research, Dr. Jackson shares the real-world stories and experiences of 12 ACOAs, who participated in Al-Anon, in their own words, showing that there is indeed hope. With the right supports and guidance, ACOAs can learn that they are more than enough. They can heal from the detrimental impacts of their parents' alcoholism to live 'a life beyond their wildest dreams.'
