Acknowledgments

I want to offer humble appreciation to all of those who helped make this book a reality. Specifically, I want to thank:

My husband and best friend, Greg, for encouraging me every step of the way and never letting me give up. Without your unwavering commitment and faith in my project, I never would have kept returning to my laptop night after night while our children slept.

My parents, Tom and Ann, and my sister, Corey, for always believing in me and being my biggest supporters through the writing process. My in-laws, Gene and Elizabeth, who gave me many hours of writing time while cherishing their grandchildren. My creative and dear friend Emily, for seeing me through my very first drafts and helping my book begin to take shape. My talented cousin Kimberly, for helping me early in the editing process and offering insightful feedback.

My editors: Penelope Franklin, who went above and beyond in helping me bring life and better organization to the pages of this book; and Cindy Kaufman-Nixon, whose patience, enthusiasm, and diligence helped me bring this lengthy project to its finish line.

Jack Trimpey, because without him, this book may not have had a starting point. The hard-hitting and empowering message in his book
Rational Recovery: The New Cure for Substance Addiction
was just what I needed to start taking back control of my life.

Finally, I want to thank Max and Amelia, for keeping me grounded and filling my life with love; and my new baby girl (who is due very soon), for giving me a firm deadline to finish this book.
