For educational purposes only — not medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider. For adults 18+.
Addiction affects the whole family — and over time, loving someone in addiction can slip into codependency that hurts everyone. This compassionate guide helps families understand codependency and begin their own recovery.
What codependency is and how it develops around addiction, the patterns to recognise in yourself, why your recovery matters too, setting boundaries with love, and finding support for the whole family.

- →Recognising patterns — in yourself

For educational purposes only
This guide is educational and supportive information about addiction and recovery — it is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it is not a substitute for care from a qualified professional. Recovery is possible and help is available. It does not diagnose or treat any condition. Do not stop alcohol or certain medications (such as benzodiazepines or opioids) abruptly without medical supervision — withdrawal can be dangerous. If you or someone you care about is struggling, reach out for support: in the US, the SAMHSA National Helpline is 1-800-662-4357 (free, confidential, 24/7), and you can call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. In an emergency, call 911.
