This is a page where the loved ones of addicts and alcoholics can come and get support. It is a safe place to share our thoughts and feelings in regards to the turmoil we may be experiencing. We can usually feel and even see the effects of drugs on the user. However, we are our own group of people who also suffer the consequences of addiction. That group includes family members, co-workers, and friends. We often refer to what happens to people such as ourselves as collateral damage. When things get too rough, family members should know there’s help for parents/friends of drug addicts. This is also a place where we can share our positive experiences, situations we have overcome, and what has worked for us.
