"Dear Reader: Healing and Hope is a window into the world of addiction, as seen through the eyes of six women who were brave enough to face their personal demons, do battle - and win. Their stories are a poignant and profoundly moving testament to courage, compassion, and above all, the will to survive. The stories I am privileged to introduce ther are from regular women, not celebrities. They represent a cross-section of those who have gone through the Betty Ford Center during its first twenty years: black, white, Hispanic; homemakers and professionals; blue-collar, middle-class, and wealthy; lesbian and straight; young and old. These women have all experienced the devastatng effects of the disease of addiction. Their dependence on alcohol and/or other drugs clouded their minds, broke their bodies, bent their spirit. Yet they ultimately found the strength to break free of the addictions that held them prisoner for so long. Healing and Hope is a book for anyone struggling with addiction or who knows someone who is. But the stories in Healing and Hope are about more than addiction, treatment, and recovery - they are a compelling tribute to the enduring quality of the human spirit. Sincerely, Betty Ford." - from the rear outer jacket. "There was a lot of drinking and codependency in my extended family. Sitting in my jail cell, I thought about how many funerals I had attended over the years of family members whose lives had ended in violence or suicide. I never once heard of them getting help. There was never any mention of AA. The only way out of the terrible lives they lived was just to die.It was one hell of a legacy. - Laurette, Healing and Hope, from the inner front jacket flap. "Laurette was only a high school freshman when she started drinking and doing drugs. Her father absent, her mother emotionally abusive, Laurette joined a gang for survival. By nineteen she was in jail. After being released, Laurette discovered she had a gift for cooking, and over the next decade worked her way up to become a renoowned sous chef. But drugs and alcohol still controlled her, and slowly tore apart everything she had worked so hard for. On the verge of self-destruction, threatened with losing her career, Laurette entered the Betty Ford Center - and for the first time, took control of her life. Laurette's story is remarkable, but she's not alone. She is one of six women in Healing and Hope who expereinced the pain and devastation of addiction - and managed to break free. Originally brought together by the Bety Ford Center's twentieth-anniversary reunion, these women share their poignant stories in this book. Their combined voices create a groundbreaking and ultimately triumphant memoir that lays bare the destructive power of addiction. These are regular women, not celebrities, and they cross a broad spectrum of race, age, and class. One is a nurse, another a housewife, another a schoolteacher. They were addicted to alcohol, prescription medictions, illegal drugs, or a combinations of the three. For some, treatement was successful the first time around, while for others the journey to recovery was much more arduous. Former First Lady Betty Ford weaves her own commentary around their narratives, giving insight into the women's lives - what they went through at the Center and what happened afterward - and shares stories about her own battle with alcohol and prescription drugs. Healing and Hope is an intimate, intensely moving look at the power of addiction and the difficult journey to sobriety. These stories are honest and open, at times funny, often heartbreaking, always compelling." - from jacket flaps.
