How to Talk With Your Family About Your Addiction
Published on July 14, 2017 by admin On Addiction

Medical experts confirm that one of the primary things you need to do when dealing with an addiction is sharing it with trustworthy friends and relatives who can provide support. But talking about your addiction with your loved ones is particularly exigent. To some people, it is embarrassing while to others, it may evoke stigma. But the fear of these negative thoughts should never be a reason not to discuss your addiction with your family. As difficult as it may seem, there are a few steps that you can take to help you discuss the issue with relative ease and success.

It`s Time to Recover and Start Your New Chapter

Speaking to a counselor first may be of help. You may not be comfortable enough to talk with loved ones, but a psychologist could guide and encourage you on how to forge on with this. There are addiction helpline counselors available for virtually every individual in America. These people have the skills and experience to help talk to your family comfortably.
Another thing you can do is develop a plan of action before you set out to discuss your addiction with your family. Your plan of action could very well be your recovery plan. Your loved ones will be much appreciative of you if they know that you are telling them the problem with a proposed solution at hand.

Start Feeling Better Now

When telling your loved ones about your addiction, apologize for any negative or hurtful behavior you may have portrayed. Tell them you are sorry and mean it. It will gladden their hearts to know that you recognize your shortcoming and show remorse for it. It will also confirm to them that indeed, you are ready to move away from the past and build a better future for yourself. Follow these simple steps, and discussing your addiction with loved ones could become more bearable.

 

Testimonials – Our patients say it better…

« I went to Malibu Hills and completed a 90 day program. It saved my life. The program and the staff are amazing. The services they offer are top notch. I highly recommend this program for anyone that needs treatment. I’m grateful to have had the time there to take care of myself and get the help I needed. Thanks Malibu you’re the best! »

« I am eight months clean because of this place and the amazing staff. Not only is it a clean, positive place with very caring and effective staff, but I also found an amazing support system in the other recovering and still sober patients I met there. Can’t say enough about how wonderful my experience was. Thank you Malibu Hills! »
