HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS EPISODE!
How can we reach out to our friends in need?
Watch people who’s stresses seem to be compounding.
Just because someone struggling with addiction seems to be getting back to “normal” doesn’t mean they ARE back to normal. They still need you to check in on them.
“Normal” can be the most slippery time.
“I had lost all confidence…but there must have been some tiny glimmer of hope in there. Without that we’ve got nothing. It’s in those moments you’ve got to keep hope and that’s where family members and friends can make such a difference in an alcoholic’s life.”
Pay attention to your own daily stresses. Take time to give yourself care. Take time to be by yourself, to do some pampering, to reflect, to take care of YOU.
