“I had NO idea what was happening to my daughter in-law”
December 31, 2010 in Al-Anon Related. . ., Feedback from You, In the News by jherzanek | 2 comments
Dear Changing Lives,
Thank you for your quick action on the billing and the response in receiving the book. I received the book in less than 24 hours and sat down immediately and read it.
I had NO idea what was happening to my daughter in-law and had constant tears for the last week. After reading the book I went to bed with some peace of mind and hope last night.
Thank you again.
~ MJ in Fort Collins, CO
“I received your book today in the mail, I curled up on the couch by the fire and read it cover to cover. I just finished, and feel I can now face 2011 with a new optimism. A HUGE thank you to you both!”
~ Optimistic Mom (Whitesboro, NY)
And another from Julie—a reader and participant on our Facebook and Blog Page:
“please feel free to use my full name. I’ve found that being transparent about all of this is very freeing, plus it helps other people in some way. I love it when I can share my experience with others & see how it helps them.
Wanted to share that I told a fellow Nar-Anon dad about your book & your philosophy about raising the bottom. He said it gave him the courage to kick his 23-year old daughter out when she got high on Christmas Day & caused a huge problem when they were hosting family.
Three days later, she called them from a detox hospital…that SHE had checked herself into! A great start . . . thank you both for letting me share about your book & how it has helped me!!!”
~ Julie Jordan-Wade (Coppell, TX)
We love to hear from everyone. Our best to you all!
~Joe and Judy

Joe The response of families and folks given the material you sent (the books, CDs, etc.) has been a great success. I have a few great stories on the impact of the material. Terry O’Connor 12-step programs member and active board member of the Clearfiel-jefferson counties herion task force (a bi-counties outreach organization for D/A intervention and family help and education on addiction problems) Thank you for the very valuable outreach tools.
