Bridging Worlds: Author Nakita Coelho-Villiarimo Offers a Year of Dual Compassion

Honolulu, Hawaii Dec 17, 2025 (Issuewire.com) Author and social worker Nakita Coelho-Villiarimo, MSW, has released two powerful, complementary daily guides, Loving Someone with Addiction and Sobriety for All Stages. Drawing on both professional insight and profound lived experience, the books establish a unique, holistic resource for individuals navigating the often-isolating worlds of recovery and supporting a loved one.

Coelho-Villiarimos work is centered on the principle of self-reclamation and the power of taking the healing journey "one day at a time." Her writing style is intentionally non-overwhelming, providing 365 days of encouragement and reflection designed to meet readers exactly where they are.

A Dual Approach to Healing

The authors mission is to create a safe, supportive space for complex, imperfect healing. She addresses the immense emotional weight of addiction from two distinct, yet equally important, perspectives:

• Loving Someone with Addiction: This guide is specifically for the partners, family members, and friends carrying the ripple effects of addiction. It focuses on the painful, necessary work of returning to the self and establishing personal peace. The central theme is learning to "hold love in one hand and your own peace in the other" (from Loving Someone with Addiction).
• Sobriety for All Stages: Addressed to the individual in recovery, this book is designed as "a companion, a safe space, and a community" (from Sobriety for All Stages). It offers direct, affirming language and tools for building courage, gentleness, and hope in the daily transformative process of sobriety.

The Voice of Compassionate Authority

Coelho-Villiarimos voice is defined by its ability to blend empathetic support with professional grounding. The tone is consistently warm, non-judgmental, and authentic, born from the authors belief that "healing doesnt have to be cold or clinical" (from Author Bio).

I dont write to have all the answers. I write to create spacespace to grieve differently, to heal imperfectly, and to move forward at a pace that feels manageable.

Nakita Coelho-Villiarimo, MSW

The books format is characterized by simple, direct syntax and accessible language, ensuring clarity even during moments of emotional distress. Each daily entry includes an Intention section to encourage readers to slow down, reflect, and consciously move forward at their own pace.

Why These Books Matter

In a market often saturated with clinical advice, Coelho-Villiarimos guides resonate because they are deeply influenced by her cultural upbringing in Hawaii and the enduring values of ohana (family) and community. They matter because they validate the difficulty of the journey, emphasizing that vulnerability and imperfection are part of the process, and that the smallest acts of self-care are truly extraordinary.
