How to Keep On Keepin' On

Children don't come with manuals. Even if they did, there would not be a chapter titled,

"What to do if your child becomes a heroin addict."

How to Keep on Keepin' on

A Mother's Guide to Finding Peace When Addiction Hits Home

 is written for all the mothers who have been there,

for those who are going through it,

and for those who pray it never happens to them.

The pain and emotions mothers experience when a child is addicted to drugs are common

 and a normal part of loving our children unconditionally.

Once we recognize and embrace these feelings, addiction doesn't win.

Through personal stories and relatable experiences, author Lynn Hotaling shares her journey

with an addicted son while empowering readers to look inward and learn to learn.

 Lynn provides the blueprint she used to find her way back to

compassion, empathy, forgiveness, and gratitude -- 

words not typically associated with addiction.

While devoting a chapter to each emotion experienced by mothers of addicts,

the author includes daily mantras, affirmations, and prayers at the end of each chapter.

The reader is left with hope and the knowledge that peace is possible for the family among the chaos of addiction.
