It's in My Genes: Addict by blood, addiction by choice. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781480844803)

Addiction is a disease that affects many lives, and it's something that is still being studied. But while there is no cure, there is hope--a hope for people who suffer with addiction. Some people may find the help they need, but many others may not.

It's in My Genes is a true story of a young girl who grew up watching the struggle of her own mother fighting alcoholism--only to wind up herself in a devastating battle against addiction at a young age. Hopeless on getting help or having a chance at a better life, she found herself having to face the heartbreak that she caused her family. But through the many tears and self-harming thoughts, she clawed her way out of something many people cannot. And with the right help and support, Jasmine turned her life around--just in time to pursue one of her greatest passions in life, and to rekindle the strongest bond anyone could have--family.

It's in My Genes is a story of hope, and it is an inspiration to anyone who suffers from addiction--a chance to see that getting better is possible. But admitting that you need help is the first step. You must want it before you get it.
