, This book is dedicated to:
Ron Hood, my husband and best friend, who is there through it all. Gale, Abby, and Jason
Miller; and Tom, Laura, Natalie, and Kate Prow—my family.
The women, my “sisters,” who were with me from the beginning—Pat Mitchell Anderson and
Judy Retterath—and those sisters, Betty Gridley, Angela Wagner, and Joyce Reese who joined
my journey along the way.
The addicted clients and their loved ones whom I had the honor of counseling; all those who
have lived with and are living with the disease of addiction; and the counselors who remain
committed to this important, sometimes miraculous, life-saving work.
