"With a map, directions, and the family in the driver's seat, Get
Your Loved One Sober is an important book for any family affected
by alcohol abuse."
--Claudia Black, PhD, author of It Will Never Happen to Me
"For decades it was believed that there was nothing one could do to
help substance-abusing loved ones until they hit bottom or that
heavy-handed confrontational tactics were necessary. Bob Meyers has
developed a remarkably effective and gentle method for working
through family members and concerned significant others to help
their 'unmotivated' loved ones get into treatment. It is no longer
necessary to feel helpless and hopeless. This book offers clear and
practical advice based on solid scientific research."
--William R. Miller, PhD, distinguished professor of psychology and
psychiatry and author of Motivational Interviewing
"Get Your Loved One Sober is an outstanding resource for persons
dealing with loved ones who refuse to get help for their substance
abuse problem. Years of research show that the approach described
in this book works. I highly recommend it."
--Timothy O'Farrell, PhD, chief of the Families and Addiction
Program, Harvard Medical School, Department of Psychiatry
'If you feel like your life is out of control because of someone

better--for you and your loved one. Get Your Loved One Sober fills
a void for everyday people as well as professionals who feel
helpless and hopeless concerning substance abusers in their lives.
Clearly written and engaging, this book can move you from feeling
like a passive victim to becoming an empowered, active player in
helping a loved one overcome a drinking problem."
