Everyone is affected by drug abuse either directly or indirectly. Many families are being destroyed due to substance abuse issues going on within their very own family unit.
When a person is addicted to drugs or alcohol, the addiction doesn’t just affect that individual. Addiction is a severe problem and many people suffer the repercussions of one person’s drug abuse problem.
Parents stay up all hours wondering if their addicted child is going to make it through the night. Many are afraid to answer the ringing phone, wondering if this is the call that tells them their child has had a fatal accident due to drug or alcohol abuse. Family dinner can sometimes be a painful reminder of the toll of addiction because one family member’s seat at the table seems to always be empty.
Addiction can have a huge strain on families and destroy them all together. Many families want to help their loved one but do not know how. For most, communicating about the problem only makes it worse and makes the addicted person withdraw even more from the family.
You want to help them, give them money and buy them food. Unfortunately, in most cases this only enables the person to use more and more.
