Critic reviews

"The most comprehensive book available on the technique of intervention, Love First will save lives!" (Kathy Ketcham, coauthor of Beyond the Influence)
All stars

I cam across this book when looking to help my brother-in-law and my family to deal with his long term addiction. It really helps to to understand a lot around of addiction and that it is an illness which helps to take the person out and the thought we would offer help to anyone who has an illness.
The letter writing is a very powerful and emotional tool. We got my brother-in-law into rehab.
I have recommended this book already to a number of people.
Would be good if it cam with a PDF as I also bought the actual book in order to mark a few things etc
Thank you
