is a first response manual for parents facing a drug crisis in their family. We need this tool because the truth about parents and their drug-abusing, drug-addicted, alcoholic teens is not being told.

You need this book, because the literature already out there spends more time discussing parenting skills than telling you what to do now. The current selection of books on teenage addiction spend more time analyzing the ‘whys’ of addiction, parental blame, and current drug crazes than the ‘hows’ of keeping your young person alive.

"Sober Coaching" is brief, offers real-life, real-time solutions, has over 23 worksheets and evaluations, and offers the essentials about being your child's recovery coach and not your child's enabler.
