Description

Children raised by alcoholic or addicted parents often struggle with feelings of hopelessness, low self-esteem, and fear. Growing up in a chaotic and dysfunctional environment, they may find it difficult to form healthy relationships and develop self-acceptance. As adults, they need guidance and support to heal from these early wounds.

**Days of Healing, Days of Joy** offers a path to recovery through daily meditations that promote serenity, spirituality, and self-acceptance. As Dr. Jan Woititz explains, “Children of alcoholics are set up for their struggles. You are not sick. You got set up.”

When addiction takes hold of a parent, their children are often left to navigate life on their own, without the support or guidance they need. Forced to take on responsibilities beyond their years, they lose their innocence and struggle emotionally and spiritually. These early experiences can lead to lifelong patterns of codependency, self-criticism, and misplaced loyalty.

Fortunately, healing is possible. In **Days of Healing, Days of Joy**, Earnie Larsen and Carol Larsen Hegarty provide thoughtful reflections that help adult children of addicts and alcoholics rebuild their lives with love, patience, and self-compassion. This inspiring book serves as a guide for those seeking to reclaim their sense of self and move forward with strength and hope.
