Disclosing Secrets: An Addict's Guide for When, to Whom, and How Much to Reveal

by M. Deborah Corley, Jennifer P. Schneider

"We are only as sick as the secrets we keep." This central tenet of recovery from addiction celebrates the liberating, healing experience of disclosure. But the actual process of revealing sensitive secrets related to addiction can be difficult, even excruciating. With a straightforward, step-by-step approach, Jennifer Schneider and Debra Corley help readers discern the type of information that is advisable to share as well as develop a plan for constructive disclosure.

Topics include: what, when, and how to tell, who to involve, what (if anything) to tell children, what information to share at work, church, and in the community. Disclosing Secrets serves as a guidebook for healing as well, offering reassurance that relationships can be repaired and renewed after disclosure.
