Helping Family Members
Find Peace Within their Own Lives
If somebody close to you such as your child, partner, or parent is an addict or alcoholic, we truly understand how difficult that can be. You might feel scared all the time and find yourself crying about what has become of your loved one and how unable you are to help or make a difference. You might feel a sense of disinterest in yourself, your work, your friends and your other family members. You might feel that there is no one that can understand what you are going through. Even though you may feel alone, know that many people in your circumstances need support considering the many challenges you are facing.
Here Are Some Specific Challenges That We Can Help You With:
As a family member of someone suffering from addiction, you may be feeling:
- like your loved one is going to die
- everyone, even your good friends are judging you
- worried constantly
- like you can’t focus on doing things you need to do and used to like to do
Even if you are feeling overwhelmed with feelings like these, North Star Counseling Services can help.
