COUNSELLING FOR THE FAMILIES OF ADDICTED CLIENTS
|
Do you love someone who suffers from addiction to alcohol or other drugs?
Do you lie awake at night wondering what to do or what not to do to help this person? Have you been let down so often that you wonder how you will ever be able to trust him/her again? Does your attitude change towards the problem drinker/drug user (alternating between love & hate) Do you feel Alone, Fearful, Anxious, Angry and Frustrated most of the time? Are you beginning to dislike yourself and wonder about your own sanity? |

If you answer ‘YES’ to at least two of these questions, then there is a problem in your life because of addiction.
Addiction causes serious and lasting harm to family members and close friends of those who suffer from it.
Families need to know that they didn’t CAUSE the addiction.
Neither can they CURE it or even CONTROL it.
Nevertheless there can be significant COSTS and CONSEQUENCES to themselves.
Through SKY counselling and coaching, you will be helped to understand the nature of addiction, how it affects families in general, how it has affected you and how you can get help for yourselves. Many families find it difficult to acknowledge that they need help personally: After all, the addicted person is the one with the problem. Isn’t that so?
A couple of initial sessions at SKY may be all that is necessary to set yourself on the road to your own recovery. Your on-going journey can be free of financial cost with mutual help groups such as Al-Anon and Families Anonymous.
