This story is told through the jagged peephole of the author's awareness, examining her formative wounds and influences from the perspective of a woman who has now gained experience and wisdom. As she peers over her soul's shoulder, she recalls the chaos of her once-fragile childhood mind. She shudders as she is reminded of the sting of her lonely childhood, her feelings of abandonment, and her painful memories of being bullied. Her childhood self was once so lost that she even contemplated suicide. As the years progress, her mind is riddled with obsession, compulsion, and a crippling sense of low self-esteem. A turning point arrives many years later, after marriage and the birth of three children. This story is about healing the faulty programming of childhood. It is about recovery from relationship addiction, food addiction, anxiety, and constant fear. It is a human story that will resonate with readers from all walks of life, and which offers hope to anyone who has felt imprisoned by the past.
"The Road Back to Me really brought me back to my childhood. Something necessary for healing childhood wounds as an adult. It triggered memories that I had long forgotten. For example, I was able to recall my relationship with neighborhood friends, what I did for fun as a child, how I felt as a child, how I felt in school when so and so did this.... how it felt to live in my childhood home with my family. And this book brought me back to get in touch with "feelings" in order to help me recover more of my innocent child self... My true essence. After reading this book, ...I have grown leaps and bounds in my relationship so fast. I didn't know I had choices. I was able to bring up old feelings and release them so I could heal. I recommend this book for anyone who is struggling in their adult life to please others. Now I'm choosing my own road."
The Road Back to Me: Healing and Recovering From Co-dependency, Addiction, Enabling, and Low Self Es
"An eye-opening story about the emotional effects the disease of alcoholism has on children, even when it skips a generation. Lisa Romano's story about growing up with two Adult Children of Alcoholic parents (ACOAs) and the low-self worth and codependency she inherited from it really hit home with me. I grew up in a similar home and related to her story. When you grow up in a home of active alcoholics/addicts you can see the alcohol/drugs use, there's a reason. But, when you are raised in a family of ACOAs, there's this elephant in the room, but you just can't see it--it's invisible. I found "The Road Back to Me" to be an inspirational story about understanding, recovering, and healing from the devastating effects of growing up in a (dry) alcoholic home. Lisa's story is motivating and encourages other ACOAs (like me) to strive for healing and recovery. Thank you Lisa for sharing your journey!"

What people are saying - Write a reviewReviews aren't verified, but Google checks for and removes fake content when it's identifiedUser Review - Flag as inappropriateThis book spoke to me. I could have been the one writing it. I loved that Lisa shared her story and was so honest and real. I too had parents who were raised with alcoholics and the programming has been passed from generation to generation. When my own son felt I was no longer good for him or his kids, I knew I had to take control of me and fight my way out of the tangled webs my mom had spun throughout my life. It has been a journey of painful truths and new discoveries. This book has helped me to see that I was not crazy or alone. Thank you, Lisa Romano.
