Addiction affects more than the individual struggling with substance use. It touches everyone around them, especially family members who often feel powerless or unsure how to help. If you are a parent, spouse, or sibling trying to support a loved one battling addiction, you are not alone. Understanding addiction as a family disease is the first step toward healing together.

Reset My Future offers a free 58-page guide titled How To Love The Addict In My Family, written by Graeme Alford, founder of Reset My Future and an expert in intensive outpatient recovery. This guide provides practical tools and insights to help families break the cycle of addiction without losing love or hope.
Why Families Need This Guide
Addiction is often seen as an individual problem, but it deeply impacts the entire family system. Family members can unintentionally enable addictive behaviors or fall into unhealthy roles like the enabler, scapegoat, or hero. These roles create tension and confusion, making recovery harder for everyone.
Many families feel stuck, unsure how to set boundaries or communicate effectively without pushing their loved one away. This guide offers a clear roadmap to:
Understand the brain science behind addiction
Recognize toxic family roles and patterns
Learn communication techniques that foster healing
Establish healthy boundaries while maintaining love and connection
By learning these skills, families can stop feeling helpless and start supporting recovery in a way that works for everyone.
