Friends & Family of Loved Ones Living with Alcohol/Drug Addiction
"Trauma is not what happens to you. It’s what happens inside you as a result of what happened to you." – Gabor Maté
Watching a loved one struggle with addiction can be heart-wrenching. It’s natural to want to help, but sometimes love and support aren’t enough to break the cycle.
Signs of Addiction:
- Changes in mood and behavior
- Increased restlessness or energy
- Dilated pupils or rapid speech
- Irritability or aggression
