Addictions

Most of us associate family with being there for each other and taking care of each other, however when there is an addict in the family the family unit can be stretched to breaking point and beyond. Very often the addict will totally refuse help and even go to lengths it seems to hurt other family members and upset them.

Most people when faced with this situation will try hard to fight their addiction which in turn makes things worse due to the stress and the worse things get the more they turn to their addiction. Therefore the whole family not just the addict gets caught up in the vicious circle and becomes trapped in despair.
