Ready to Reach Out?
Seeing a loved one in a losing battle with an addiction is hard. You might not know how to help them so maybe you enable their drug and alcohol use in hopes they will realize you love them. But if you do love them then you should be doing the opposite. Your loved one needs to go to rehab. Holding an intervention can be a great way to convince your loved one to do so.
An intervention gathers family and friends who want to express concern and support for someone who is fighting drug addiction or alcoholism. Addicts usually feel guilty about having a substance abuse problem so the fear of embarrassment keeps them from getting help. Do not criticize your loved one during the intervention. If the addict feels that he or she is being attacked or judged, then will tune everything out. Remember, it is about getting your loved one the help they need. Let them know that people still care about them. If they see that they have support then they will be more willing to get treatment for their disease.
Staying focused on your recovery journey is huge after your rehab stint is over. Meeting other people in recovery to discuss what bothers you might just help you. Attend an NA or AA meeting today.
