Advice For Families of Addicts- Where can families turn for help?

Addiction counselor Amber Hollingsworth gives advice to families of addicts about who you should and shouldn’t talk to about your loved one's drug or alcohol problem. Important Advice For Families Of Addicts! Their addiction is your problem, so it's natural to want to seek help and support from others. Where and how you seek help is very important. Talking to family and friends can backfire on you. Not only will it upset your loved one (because you're talking about them), but they may not be very helpful for you either. Even though family and friends want to help, they typically don't know-how. ALANON is also an option for support. They teach you to differentiate the problem from the person and from yourself, but they don't necessarily give you advice on how to handle it. It's great for philosophy and support, but sometimes you want more direct advice. In these situations, I recommend you seek professional help. ❤️️📣Learn the step by step process for getting Addicted Loved One FROM DENIAL INTO RECOVERY, using our INVISIBLE INTERVENTION method: https://www.familyrecoveryacademy.onl... ☎️If you'd like to schedule PHONE CONSULTATION SESSION with one of our addiction specialist: https://www.familyrecoveryacademy.onl... 👪FREE Family Recovery Support Group on Facebook:   / familyrecoverysupport   📚Recommended Books List: https://www.amazon.com/shop/addiction... 💬If you'd like to help contribute a translation on this video: Click the link below: http://www.youtube.com/timedtext_vide... 💁Amber's Backstory: https://www.hopeforfamiliesrecoveryce...
