Living with someone struggling with alcohol or drug use can feel isolating and overwhelming. When the person appears "high-functioning"—holding down a job, maintaining a home, and sustaining friendships—you may question your reality, wondering if it’s truly “that bad.”

If you’ve been stuck in this cycle, you’re not alone. Many families feel this way.

You’ve likely taken steps to fix the problem yourself, including:

• Pouring out alcohol or disposing of drugs
• Deleting contacts or blocking numbers on their phone
• Asking family or friends to intervene
• Attempting heartfelt conversations or staging interventions
• Yelling out of frustration or fear
• Threatening to leave the relationship
• Sharing information about addiction in the hope they’ll “wake up”

Despite these efforts, you might still be asking:

• Why won’t they stop if they love me?
• Don’t they care about our family?
• What am I doing wrong?

I provide compassionate guidance to help you navigate these challenges. Together, we will:

• Understand Addiction: Learn about the patterns and behaviors that come with substance use disorders.
