商品簡介
In this powerful memoir, pioneering family interventionist Jo Ann Towle recounts her journey from a traumatic sexual assault at seventeen through years of alcoholism to a transformative career helping thousands of families confront addiction. After fleeing Milwaukee for Denver, Jo Ann spent her twenties battling blackouts, shame, and self-destructive behavior before finding her path to recovery. Restless Reins offers both the raw honesty of a personal recovery story and the professional insights of someone who has conducted thousands of interventions over three decades. Jo Ann challenges confrontational approaches, advocating instead for compassionate, family-centered intervention that addresses the shame and fear underlying addiction. Her story culminates in Northern California alongside her beloved horse, Dillon, proving that recovery offers not just survival-- but true freedom.
