HOW ADDICTION AFFECTS THE FAMILY.  Do you feel at a loss when seeing a loved one caught in the grips of substance abuse?  The role of family in addiction recovery is very important.  Where once your home was a peaceful, safe, loving home because of your addicted  loved one is now a home divided by strain. Tensions run high and conflict becomes  the norm. Trust begins to erode. Marriages can end due to the changes caused by addiction. Arguing between family members. Communication becomes more difficult, highlighting frustration.  Partners/spouses may feel deeply betrayed or abandoned. Children may feel insecure or unloved and some may feel that the use is their fault.

RECOVERY IS AN ONGOING PROCESS. In recovery there is hope, and hope is a wonderful thing.

ARE YOU IN RECOVERY FROM ADDICTION? Support is key to maintain recovery. Regular weekly attendance at support group meetings provide structure to create a new daily routine, also having interaction with like-minded people, creating new friendships and a chance to feel connected rather than isolated. Ciaran Carey Counselling Services offer and provide a safe non-judgemental space where individuals can give and receive encouragement as they begin a new life of sobriety.
