Following through with boundaries is soooo important. If you fail to stick to your guns, your loved one will try to manipulate you constantly. #RBRoundTable x.com/Rehabs/status/…

Q4: Sometimes in active addiction, our loved ones will manipulate us to get what they want. How can you recognize & address these types of situations? (Speaking of manipulation...) #RBRoundTable

If nothing changes, nothing changes. #RBRoundTable x.com/Rehabs/status/…

A4: Addressing your loved one while they're trying to manipulate you can be tricky. If you know that your actions will help them get to their substance, stick your foot down and say no. Don't drive them or give them money. (Much easier said than done ☹️) #RBRoundTable

Q5: Everyone wants to see their struggling loved one get the help they need. What are some ways to begin and navigate these difficult conversations? #RBRoundTable

Great advice. And, for the record, most conversations with an addicted loved one are tough. ;) #RBRoundTable x.com/Recovery_Org/s…

Q6: Why is it so important for loved ones to practice self-care during this difficult time? #RBRoundTable

Two thumbs up! (I'd give you more if I had more thumbs!) #RBRoundTable x.com/deanokat/statu…

Putting yourself first goes against basic human instinct. But once you start doing it, you figure out why it's so important. #RBRoundTable x.com/Rehabs/status/…

Q7: Thankfully, there are many support groups and lots of information out there for loved ones. What are some resources you would recommend? #RBRoundTable

Amen. #RBRoundTable x.com/Rehabs/status/…

A7: Support groups are so important for loved ones & the person struggling. Here are the links to 1: Nar-Anon: nar-anon.org 2: Al-anon: al-anon.org #RBRoundTable x.com/RecoveryBrands…

A7: All on the same page today! Support groups will help you realize you're NOT alone on this journey. If you're unsure of what your town has to offer, go online or ask city officials to point you in the right direction, or create your own! #RBRoundTable

Last question coming up... #RBRoundTable

Q8: How can you practice self-care every day & make sure you’re at 100% for your loved one? #RBRoundTable

#SelfCare when you're dealing with an addicted loved one can be hard. But you HAVE to do it. #RBRoundTable x.com/deanokat/statu…
