You’re desperate for a way to help your loved one. Everybody’s telling you to get rid of them, to kick them out and cut them off—but it doesn’t feel right. After trying countless ways to deal with the situation, hopelessness sets in, leaving you with no choice but to stand by and watch. Inside BALM®, Beverly Buncher opens your eyes and shows you the truth—it’s preposterous to say there’s nothing you can do.BALM®: The Loving Path to Family Recovery turns the ideas to ‘hitting bottom’ and ‘tough love’ upside down, replacing these concepts with Connection and Unconditional Love.

This step-by-step guide to family recovery teaches you how to:

Erase judgments that create barriers between families and their loved one
Regain the inner calm and peace you thought was lost forever
Become aware of triggers that can give your addict excuses to relapse
Set and stick to boundaries to achieve peace in the home
Learn the “Loving Mirror” secrets for a sane and joyful life!
​

Written for those who know just how difficult it can be to cope with the lifestyle of a using addict, BALM® empowers families to transform their inner attitudes and relationships with each other. Give your struggling loved one their BEST chance at recovery, the BALM® method will transform not only their lives—but also your own.

Overview of Addiction ~ And Recovery
 addictiongroup.org/addiction/

"All human life has its seasons and cycles, and no one's personal chaos can be permanent. Winter, after all, gives way to spring and summer, though sometimes when branches stay dark and the earth cracks with ice, one thinks they will never come, that spring, and that summer, but they do, and always."  ~  Truman Capote
