Is your loved one's addiction making your life miserable?
You may be wondering, “Can I get help for my loved one’s addiction if help is unwanted?"
YES YOU CAN
Your whole life centers around the addict. You sacrifice your own happiness and enjoyment all because of your loved one’s substance abuse. You may put off travelling or saving money for retirement. If your son or daughter is the alcoholic or drug addict, your relationship with your spouse may be suffering due to the enormous stress.
Even if your loved one does not want to get treatment for their addiction, you can still get support to turn your life around. Many of my clients have been families where the addicted loved one was not involved in the family intervention. In spite of this, the family members were able to make significant improvements in their lives – and in 95% of cases, the life of the addict.
Getting help for yourself is often the first step towards helping a loved one who is abusing drugs or alcohol...
An addiction interventionist can be the answer to your problems.
You may lie awake at night fearing the worst may happen.
If you're like most of my clients, you've spent tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to help your addicted loved one. You may have purchased a business for them, only to have them run it into the ground. You may have bought them a home, or routinely bailed them out from financial disasters.
Has it worked?
You have done everything you can to try to help them.
Yet, despite your best intentions, the addict keeps on abusing substances - and you continue to suffer because of it.
Your concern for your loved one's future is growing as you helplessly watch them spiral out of control. You're wondering where you can turn... who can help you?
Thankfully ... there is something you can do.
The most important thing you need to know is that you can get your life back whether the addict stops abusing substances or not.
Often times, we must first help ourselves before we can help someone who is abusing alcohol or drugs. In fact, by helping and healing yourself – it helps the addict.
Once family members reclaim their lives and stop allowing the addict/alcoholic to control it, the loved one is forced to make serious decisions about their addiction or alcoholism, often for the first time.
An addiction interventionist can be the answer to your problems.
As a spouse, parent, sibling or adult child of an addict, the stress, anxiety and feelings of helplessness you experience are overwhelming at times. Whether your loved one is addicted to alcohol, drugs, gambling, sex or has an eating disorder - it affects you deeply --the chaos, the confusion and the pain. You may often experience feelings of guilt and shame. You might ask yourself, "Where have I gone wrong"?
You deserve a good life regardless of what your drug or alcohol addicted loved one does
You don't have to be controlled by worry, fear or anxiety any longer. You deserve to enjoy your life and feel good about your future.
You probably have put off asking for help for some time now hoping that things will get better…but the truth is, when dealing with an alcoholic or drug addict, things usually get worse over time.
