Letting Go of the Need to Control

Part of the Hazelden Classics for Clients Collection
Author: Ann M.

Control issues are common among those of us who are chemically dependent. This pamphlet provides constructive methods to let go of self-defeating behaviors.

Excerpt from the Introduction:
“Feeling powerless and acting in controlling ways are characteristics of adult children of alcoholics, chemically dependent people, and those close to them.  This pamphlet discusses why we feel and act in these ways, and how we can let go of controlling behavior and learn to trust ourselves and others.”
