Library Journal Highly Recommends "Soaring Above Co-Addiction"

Online, November 21, 2010 (Newswire.com) - An estimated 22.2 million Americans suffer from addiction. For the countless people who love these addicts, their own lives get turned upside down too. Because of the stigma attached to addiction, families and loved ones learn to hide the problem. A new book by Arizona author, Lisa Espich, "Soaring Above Co-Addiction", sheds light on the particular challenges families face.

Lisa is not a counselor or therapist writing from a professional stance. instead, she writes from the viewpoint of a wife and mother who struggled to save her family from addiction, and eventually succeeded in finding the right source of help. Her book provides countless tools, tips, resources, and inspiration that families dealing with addiction need. "Everyone's story is different", says Lisa, "but the disease of addiction seems to cause the same pain, fear, and confusion, regardless of who you are".

The Library Journal review, written by Dale Farris, states that Espich's honest writing about addiction is further strengthened by her lay approach. The result is a book that manages to find a significant niche among the wealth of other titles on drug addiction that are predominantly written by professional therapists with a particular treatment approach. Dale goes on to highly recommend "Soaring Above Co-Addiction" to the families and friends of addicts.

Lisa is a manager for a Fortune 500 company, and utilizes her fifteen years of experience as a professional trainer and coach to facilitate Tucson and Phoenix workshops based on the principles shared in her book. After the remarkable transformation in her own life, she is now passionate about helping other families to heal from the devastating effects of addiction.
