Today's guests, Peggy and Lonnie Watson, courageously share their intimate story of addiction. Peggy Is the author of Hooked: When You Love an Addict. In 1994, she discovered her husband was an addict and began to look for books to help her through her tough time—but found none. So, she wrote her own book, using her experience to help the loved ones of addicts learn about and overcome the effects their loved one's addiction can have on the family. The book follows her husband Lonnie as he drifts through the 90's as a highly functioning addict. As the owner of a promotion company with dozens of clients, Lonnie was a stark contrast to the common stereotype of addicts living in poverty. However, his addiction was detrimental to all the wealth, success and family life he'd built. "Everything I'd found on addiction focused on helping the addict overcome the illness," Peggy said. "But where was my help? Was there any advice for me? I felt like I was drowning."
