Understanding and Counseling: Persons with Alcohol, Drug, and Behavioral Addictions: ...Using Psyc

After reading this book, I now understand why my questions were not answered, and why that pastor continued to ask question after question. At the time I did not understand you need so much more information than simply asking what can I do to help.
