For Family and Friends

Is the addictive behaviour of a family member impacting you?

Do you?

get worried, frustrated, angry or sad about someone you know who uses alcohol, drugs, gambling, or other worrying behaviours?

struggle to know how to help them, or find yourself saying the same things to them over and over?

do your best to support the person experiencing addiction, but sometimes feel whatever you do or say isn't helping?

feel worried or down a lot of the time?
feel you don't have enough time to look after yourself, or important parts of your life such as work, and other relationships?
have trouble sleeping, or find it hard to concentrate?
