We work so hard to fix our loved ones and usually go to any length to do what we feel is right and it turns out to be 100% the opposite.
Take the list below and turn it upside down and you will find what most families without any experience do (what they think) will help they're family member.
Follow these keys and the recovery process will speed up. This is the love that they need and can definitely save their life. If you have any questions, head to an Al-Anon meeting and they can walk you through it.
