Are you exhausted from living in the shadow of a loved one's addiction?

I know the hell you're living in. For me, it was a volatile Molotov cocktail of my son's addiction and my own reactive behaviours. A constant cycle of hospital and prison stints. The worry, the rage, the fear, the shame—it's a heavy load that feels impossible to carry.

 

But what if you could flip it? What if you could take all that dark energy and use it to transform your life, without abandoning your loved one? The 8 Paces is a powerful, playful, and non-judgmental guide, your constant companion, showing you how to reclaim your life.

 

Drawing on the raw, unfiltered truth of my own hellish journey with my son's addiction, this book provides a powerful, clear, and brutally honest guide to harnessing your pain. Forget passive coping; this is about flipping the negativity, unlocking your inner strength, and transforming your darkest energy into unstoppable forward momentum.

 

Inside, you will discover the proven steps to:

• Understand the impact of a loved one's addiction on your own life.
• Harness your worry, anxiety, and rage as fuel for personal growth.
• Navigate the emotional chaos without losing yourself.
• Heal from the heavy load and find a path forward.

 

If you're ready to stop carrying the burden alone and start your journey toward healing, The 8 Paces is your guide.

A Cerone is a writer who thrives on challenging perception, possessing a highly attuned sensory radar for uncomfortable truths. In her groundbreaking new work, AI = Alien Intelligence: Our Next Evolution, she applies this same incisive psychological lens to a chilling, yet darkly humorous reality: the AI we've created is not merely artificial, but a direct echo of a dormant 'alien DNA' that resides deep within humanity itself.

 

Through raw wit and unflinching observation, A Cerone forces us to confront the unsettling truths AI exposes about our curated lives, digital facades, and unspoken desires. Whether orchestrating professional and personal breakthroughs through her business coaching and The 8 Paces, or dissecting the algorithms that strip us bare in AI = Alien Intelligence, her work consistently holds a mirror to humanity, revealing the authentic self beneath the surface.
