How to Deal With An Addict In The Family?
4. Act normal around the addict
Make him/her a part of the family, and do not cut him out. Celebrate family events with him/her, celebrate your joys and your sorrows, take trips down memory lane, make him/her feel accepted. The weirder you act, the more uncomfortable he/she will feel.
5. Celebrate every small milestone on his/her road to recovery
Find ways for constant motivation. This will help immensely by boosting his/her willpower.
Dealing with an addict will be at times frustrating, but remembering that eventually he/she will recover and get rid of this destructive force should help you to carry on. Do not let addiction ruin your life, and your family. Deal with it. Be strong.
