Addiction rarely stays contained to one person. It spreads quietly through everyone close to it. You start adjusting your own life around someone else's mood, covering for them, making excuses to people outside the family, taking over responsibilities that were never yours to carry.
One to one sessions for you, separate from the person struggling, practical work on boundaries that hold, and support whether or not your loved one is currently willing to accept help.
Many people in this position have never had space to talk about what it's like living alongside someone's addiction, without it being framed as a complaint about the person they love. Sessions give you somewhere to think clearly, away from the immediate crisis, about what you need in order to stay steady yourself.
Whether your loved one is ready for help or not, you have the right to get support of your own.
You do not have to have it all figured out.
Just start with a conversation.
