Holidays are more stressful for families
struggling with an addicted loved one
Why? Because most of us realize that family gatherings are both special and important. These are times when most of us will go out of our way to say “I love youâ€.
The warning I’m speaking about refers to a select few organizations who try to take advantage of hurting people.
You may have noticed several recent TV and radio ads touting various “addiction cures.â€
There is a solution and a way to manage addiction–but there is NO CURE.
Beware of anyone who tells you otherwise.
It saddens me to know that there are hurting families who are even more emotionally and financially drained–by false claims.
Please know that alcoholism and drug addiction are manageable problems. There is hope. And many, many people begin the journey called recovery every day.
