Double Duty: Help for the Adult Child explores how growing up with an alcoholic parent can shape patterns of behaviour and addiction in adult life. Written by an addiction recovery expert, it looks closely at the unique pressures faced by adult children of alcoholics.

Drawing on detailed case histories, the book shows how unresolved experiences in childhood can surface later as dependency, compulsive habits, or self-defeating relationships. Each example illustrates how family roles and learned coping strategies can quietly influence choices long after a person has left home.

The author explains how recognizing these patterns is an important step toward change. The discussion focuses on understanding personal triggers, confronting denial, and beginning healthier ways of relating to oneself and others.

Readers will find:

• Real-life case studies of adult children of alcoholics
• Insight into the link between family history and addiction
• Guidance for recognizing harmful patterns and behaviours
• Supportive ideas for personal growth and recovery

This book is suited to adult readers who want to better understand the long-term impact of alcoholism in the family and explore practical paths toward healing.
