Putting the Pieces Back Together: The Family Recovery Handbook (Volume 1)

"I've sat in hospital waiting rooms at 3 AM. I've lived through the 'Love and Rage.' I've been where you are right now."

When addiction enters a family, it doesn't just affect the person using—it shatters the lives of everyone around them. You feel exhausted, hyper-vigilant, and stuck in a cycle of "saving" someone who doesn't seem to want to be saved. You want to help, but you're terrified that you're actually enabling.

Faye (Recovery Mum) has lived this story from both sides—as the mother of an addicted teenager and the daughter of an addicted mother. In this raw, practical, and deeply compassionate guide, she moves beyond clinical advice to offer a real-world roadmap for the "collateral damage" of addiction.

In Volume 1: Foundation & Crisis Management, you will discover:

The Three Pillars of Family Recovery: Why your stability is the most powerful tool you have.

The Crisis Triage Tool: A 3-level system to help you make rational decisions when emotions are spiralling.

The 60-Second Reset: Practical techniques to find your ground when you're in the middle of a storm.

Breaking the Roles: Understanding the Enabler, the Hero, and the Scapegoat—and how to step out of the "Addiction Dance."

More than just a memoir... This book is a prescriptive guide designed for the "real life" of recovery. Included inside is a link to the Master Recovery Toolkit—a comprehensive suite of printable A4 worksheets, crisis plans, and reflection journals to help you start putting the pieces back together today.

You are not alone. It's time to move from surviving the crisis to building a foundation for a new life.
