I purchased this DVD with the plan that it might be useful with families of individuals in treatment. Well, it is all talk, and so shallow as to be not useful at all with this population. I am not sure what I would use it for at all. Don’t waste your money.

If you’ve ever wondered why a loved one or friend continues to destroy their lives (and/or others), and wished you knew what you can and cannot do, then watch this video over and over again – the answers are there if you’re willing to hear them. Joe, and the round table members, do an excellent job at tackling the tough questions – and answers – on addiction. You’ll get no dramatic enhancements here, just straight questions and REAL answers on what addiction is, why people don’t stop, and what you can do to help them. There are many books, TV programs, and videos out there, but none that match the straightforward truth you’ll find here. If you need help, then watch this video with your family – and then follow its suggestions. You’ll be happy you did.

I purchased this DVD and was very excited to find some answers that you don’t get anywhere else. This book gives you an insight from the addict himself to understand the distorted thinking that comes with addiction. It will help you better understand and relate to the addict in your life. I actually bought several books and gave one to a Psychiatrist and he loved it and is reccomending the book to family of alcoholics as well as addiction. Thank you so much for creating this helpful book and DVD!!!!! We love them! And we are happy that you are wanting to help people and families who are affected from a disease that is beyond their control!

Why Don’t They Just QUIT? DVD Roundtable Discussion: What families and friends need to know about addiction and recovery. This DVD, along with the book, are about the only tools available to us loved ones on the outside, who want to help a substance abuser begin the spiritual journey to healing, peace, and rest. It is perfect to start one’s own education about this insidious disease, and then to share it with the rest of the family and friends, who may not have the time to read a new book, but will take a few hours to watch a DVD. That open door is all it will take. Before I found these resources, I felt alone in my search, finding nothing but professional enablers (those in the counseling and legal professions) whose expensive and poor advice only allows the cycle to continue. May God bless you with courage in your quest to find answers.

Mr. Herzanek imparts heartfelt experience and knowledge in this DVD which brings strength, courage and hope in a straight forward, easy to understand manner to anyone caught in the painful web of addiction, whether it be the addict or the addict’s loved one. Who better to listen to, then one who has lived through addiction to find a healthy, sane and satisfying life in continued recovery? I contribute much of my son’s recovery and my healing to Mr. Herzanek’s efforts to help those of us who are desperately in need of answers and understanding with tried and true methods of overcoming this insidious disease and beginning on a rewarding road to recovery.
