The book has an extensive section on recognizing the signs of addiction, some of which might go unrecognized if the warrior lover does not know what to look for in their combat veteran partner. There are a number of signs that can signal problems with addiction, but if one has no understanding of these, they can sometimes be dismissed for other, more easy to accept explanations such as lack of sleep, stress, normal moodiness, etc. This is probably the most important section of the book, in that it educates the reader on how to recognize addiction indicators that could mean the difference between life and death.
Combat veterans commit suicide every day, to the tune of an average of around twenty per day. Other vets also die from substance abuse problems, which as the author points out, may be a form of suicide that doesn't involve a firearm or other direct and immediate method. For the warrior lovers out there, learning how to recognize addiction and taking steps to combat it, may be the most important thing that can ever be done.
Leilani Anastasia's book will help anyone who is in a relationship with a combat veteran and may be confronting potential problems with addiction and codependency. The author has done extensive research on this topic and has the personal experience that allows her to really present this material in a manner that is based on both science and real world experience.
