If youāre the family member of an addict, you may feel confused, guilty, and scared of doing the wrong thing. And when you donāt know how to help, you may find yourself in a codependent role, trying so hard to keep your addicted loved one alive, out of jail, or emotionally appeased that you may actually prevent them from realizing they need help.

Youāll learn how to encourage your addicted loved one to get help without forcing it, and finally find the strength to let go of codependence.
