Book Description
When I was teaching at a drug and alcohol treatment center, one of the most apparent themes was the need to explain the impact of addiction on children. Thousands of people sat in my classrooms, and each of them in a different level of denial as to how their behavior was affecting their families. My heart ached for the children. What was crazy was that often the people in denial were the first to talk about the impact of their own dysfunctional childhoods. I felt a deep desire to offer perspective and help break the cycle. One morning, on my way into the treatment center, I was listening to a teaching on the Tao Te Ching when I had the thought "You could write a children's book for adults explaining the impact of addiction." I got so excited because I knew that one of the hardest things about growing up in addiction is the feeling of having to grow up too fast. In fact, many Adult Children feel as though they missed their childhood entirely. As I sat to write, I was inspired as the versus poured out. I feel as though this book is my divinely guided attempt at intervention, education, and healing. I would be honored if this book helps shed light in a dark time, gives hope, fosters understanding, and cultivates both compassion and forgiveness in your life.

'I Had a Black Dog says with wit, insight, economy and complete understanding what other books take 300 pages to say. Brilliant and indispensable.' - Stephen Fry 'Finally, a book about depression that isn't a prescriptive self-help manual. Johnston's deftly expresses how lonely and isolating depression can be for sufferers. Poignant and humorous in equal measure.' Sunday Times There are many different breeds of Black Dog affecting millions of people from all walks of life. The Black Dog is an equal opportunity mongrel. It was Winston Churchill who popularized the phrase Black Dog to describe the bouts of depression he experienced for much of his life. Matthew Johnstone, a sufferer himself, has written and illustrated this moving and uplifting insight into what it is like to have a Black Dog as a companion and how he learned to tame it and bring it to heel.
