Empowering families affected by substance use

Recovery is slow and gradual. It is important to know that your family member needs to recover at their own pace. During the recovery of a loved one, you may:

feel that your loved one is emotionally unavailable
see your loved one having more difficulties coping
not like the speed or focus of recovery
feel like you:

are on a roller coaster
are walking on eggshells
are “in the dark.”
