When activities that were once recreational begin to cross a line that compromises our values, it is time to seek help.

When it comes to addiction, the elevator seldom goes in a different direction without support. The stigma around the label of addiction often prevents us from getting help. Repeating destructive behaviors, despite our best individual efforts, can be so perplexing. 

Often, when we can investigate the problematic behavior in a compassionate, nonjudgmental space, many people are able to make choices that reduce or stop the behavior or abuse.

Taking Action

If you are struggling with addiction, or care about someone who is struggling, take action. Without labels, we can identify what your needs are and how they can be met with limited or without the use of the concerning behavior or substance. While the work may appear daunting, the collaborative and unconditional support often brings folks to a better place.

Support for those who care about someone caught in the throes of addictive behavior is an integral part of the recovery process, regardless of whether the addict gets help at the same time. If you find that you are Mothering, Manipulating, Managing and becoming a Martyr over the addict in your life, seek help. In many cases, addicts seek help after their love ones begin their own healing process.
