The 8 Paces provides help to those affected by family members, friends or colleagues who abuse substances (alcohol, drugs, other). This is a heavy load for us to deal with hour to hour, day to day. I have navigated through a hellish environment since 2009 brought about by the behaviour of a violently self-destructive alcoholic and drug addict, my son. The 8 Paces guides me and does not leave my side; it is a powerful, playful, non-judgemental guide on how to lift us in turbulent times.
