It is VERY hard for "normies" to understand that addiction responds to PAIN. It responds very little to cushy support. This is why we say the addict must hit a bottom - the point where the PAIN of using exceeds the PAIN of doing whatever it takes to stop using. Usually, when we take away their pain, we delay them from hitting their bottom.
Please stick around, share more with us, read, and post. Try some local meetings of
Nar-Anon or
Al-Anon - they are free and the best support possible for a family member needing support!
We care about you!
