Have a Loved One Struggling With Substance Abuse? Author Well Qualified to Advise
I Love You, But ... by Patricia Kramer
Book Review by Rev. Austin Miles
August 18, 2005

(AgapePress) - In the midst of a time when newspaper writers spontaneously seem to recognize that drug and alcohol addiction now occurs in the least likely of families, a book was quietly published -- "I Love You But ...." The author, Patricia Kramer, offers a simple solution to release the addicted from his or her bondage. It worked with a member of her own family, it has worked for others who have failed drug and alcohol programs -- and it will work for you.

I Love You, But ... -- When a Loved One Has a Problem With Substance Abuse (Xulon) could not have been published at a better time. Most readers will be able to immediately identify with its contents. In this turbulent 21st century, no family is immune from the scourge of addiction that has crossed all lines and boundaries, reaching epic proportions. This is truly the era of the unexpected addict.

This includes those in stable families and homes that are anything but breeding grounds for destructive addictions, leaving a sense of helplessness to all concerned in its wake. It is that feeling of helplessness that this slim little volume (54 pages) addresses by pointing readers to a proven way of victory for the addict in the family.

The author is well qualified to write this book. She lived in an alcoholic marriage for 21 years, and then lost her 15-year-old son in a tragic accident at the same time her marriage ended. So she knows well the depths of suffering and helplessness.
