The Survival Guide for Kids with LD
This book is a GREAT way for kids to learn about their own Learning Disabilities (the book calls them Learning Differences). I read this book to my son to help explain to him why he's noticing that he's different from some of the other kids in school.

But, the author does not stop there. Harrison goes on to explain various reasons why the addict's family may knowingly or unknowingly support the addict's habit, thus keeping the addict from recovery.

Criminization of drug abuse has created more problems than it solved
Unbelievable how unsuccessful our war on drugs is going! Not only has our drug containment policy failed but it has caused significant problems in countries where the drugs are grown. Until we address the biggest drug problem, alcohol with its special interest lobby, we will not be successful. All drugs are not the same and using one approach does not fit all. Until we try other approaches ...
