Concept of 'Raising the Bottom' Explored in Award-Winning Alcohol & Drug Addiction...

Concept of 'Raising the Bottom' Explored in Award-Winning Alcohol & Drug
Addiction Book.
People do not have to wait for someone they care about to 'hit bottom.' Family
and friends of an alcoholic or drug addict can play an active role in
accelerating the process of 'hitting rock bottom' - by allowing natural
consequences to happen.

BOULDER, Colo., July 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Boulder author Joe Herzanek
explores the concept of "raising the bottom" in his award-winning book "Why
Don't They JUST QUIT?" Herzanek explains, "This whole idea of 'hitting bottom'
is out of date. Some people will wait years -- even decades -- for their
friend to reach this mythical point in their alcohol and drug use. But why
wait for them to 'hit bottom?' Why not help them by raising their bottom?"
Joe uses decades of successful experience counseling families, inmates in
the Boulder County Jail, and with his own son, to explain how this works.
Herzanek -- a recovering addict/alcoholic himself says, "My Mother Gladys,
successfully used this idea with me thirty years ago, which led to twenty-nine
days in treatment and a life of recovery."
QUOTES:
"Although there are many books available to help the recovering person,
very few speak to those on the 'outside,' who want to help, but don't know
where to begin. 'Why Don't They JUST QUIT?' offers hope to families and
friends, giving practical solutions so they can help anyone struggling with
addiction to begin the road to recovery. This could be just the resource they
are looking for."
