Addiction as a Family Disease

This event has expired

From the closest relative to the most distant, everyone suffers some level of distress when addiction grips the family. Possible effects of family addiction include:2

  • Mental health problems worsened by persistent stress, such as:
    • Anger and resentment.
    • Anxiety.
    • Hopelessness and depression.
    • Risky sexual behavior and promiscuity.
    • Shame.
    • Isolation.
  • Physical health issues resulting from an intense focus on the person using substances rather than your own needs.
  • Financial issues stemming from supporting a loved one’s habit, having been stolen from, paying legal fees, and having financial resources needed for housing, utilities, and nutrition being spent on drugs and/or alcohol.

Join us as we speak more on the above. See you then.
