If You’re Exhausted, Scared, and Out of Answers — Start Here.

You’ve tried:

Talking.
Threatening.
Crying.
Paying fines.
Hiring attorneys.
Sending them to treatment.
Believing promises.

And nothing changes.

This book was written for you.

Written by Someone Who Was the Problem

Scott Wisenbaker was arrested 42 times before getting sober.

He knows exactly how addicts think.

He knows the manipulation.
The excuses.
The empty promises.
The emotional chaos.

And he knows what actually works.

This Is Not a Gentle Parenting Book

It is direct.
It is honest.
It may challenge you.

Because one of the hardest truths families face is this:

Love alone does not fix addiction.

Sometimes love without boundaries makes it worse.

What This Book Will Teach You

• How addicts think
• Why consequences matter
• How enabling actually fuels addiction
• When to step in — and when to step back
• How to set boundaries without guilt
• What real accountability looks like
• How to stop financing destruction
• How to protect yourself emotionally

This book is not about controlling your child.

It’s about changing your response.

Who This Book Is For

• Parents of adult children struggling with addiction
• Families dealing with repeated arrests
• Parents watching their child cycle through jail
• Families paying bond after bond
• Anyone stuck in fear and frustration

What Makes This Different

This isn’t theory.

It’s written by someone who:

• Lived addiction
• Lived incarceration
• Lived manipulation
• And lived recovery

It’s practical. Direct. Experience-based.

What Readers Say

This book is an absolute MUST READ for anyone dealing with addiction issues themselves, or that of a loved one. Written by someone who has "walked that walk" and successfully overcome addiction, & continues to do so.

My husband and I highly recommend this book. As a parent we should never be afraid to keep our families safe. Scott's words and advice teaches us how to do that.

Read this book cover to cover because it was that good ! Been in the industry for 10 years and have never had a no nonsense-plain language text that the lay person can know "what to do next". This is truly a step by step guide to saving a loves one's life. Invaluable !

Stop Waiting for Rock Bottom

Rock bottom is not a strategy.

Structure is.

Boundaries are.

Accountability is.
