This work book is designed to be used with the books "Growing Up In Alcoholism, Violence & Dysfunction" or "Earning My Parents' Love," however many have used it as a stand alone aid. Forgetting served a purpose. Forgetting allowed us to survive. We had to forget. Now for many of us, this has become a paradox. Now we must remember. We must remember in order to access what needs to be felt and to heal; otherwise, the impairments forever remain outside the range of our awareness. This work is designed to awaken our inner child and to allow that child to share her/his inner most intimate feelings in a safe environment with the person who has the primary responsibility for loving this child. In many respects recovery is a love affair with the self that we were taught was unlovable. Everyone's story is unique and it is my deepest desire that you fall deeply in love with the child that you once were and integrate that experience with the calm, competent, confidant adult that we were all meant to be. We all deserve to be at peace with ourselves
