Addiction is a living thing that thrives in shame and feeds on avoidance. If you love someone struggling with substance abuse, one of the most important things you can do to support them, is to be brutally honest with yourself about what is happening, and ask for help. can offer that.

The lines of celebration and total burnout can really blur this time of year. Weddings, graduations, vacations, and kids activities can create a never- ending cycle of planning and indulgence. For some, the true intention to celebrate, ends with angry words, embarrassing behavior, passing out early, and empty promises to never do it again. If this sounds familiar for you or someone you love, can help.

Addiction feeds off of fear, shame, anger, resentment, loneliness, anxiety, and the false belief that you SHOULD be happy. We have the job, family, community, and THINGS we’ve always wanted but, we’re suffocating. Not only that, we’re afraid of making any change to disrupt this perfect life we’ve created. You or the person you love might avoid seeking help bc you hope it will resolve on its own. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way.
Alcoholics don’t drink more because they like the taste, we drink more because the effect becomes louder than the volume of the pain. It becomes an endless cycle.
If you’re struggling and don’t think you can take the next step because there’s too much shame, or you’re afraid of what you might have to give up. you’re in a losing battle. Shame will sit quietly in the corner and watch while the addiction steals your last breath. You have to face it head-on, but you never have to do it alone. If you’re looking for help, for yourself or a loved one, can help.
