Have you experienced the lies and broken promises that go with the territory of living or working with an addict?

See if this applies to you: Do you…

• Know something is wrong, but you’re not sure what it is?
• Find yourself losing sleep worrying about your loved one?
• Go back and forth between thinking it’s them and thinking it’s you with the problem (especially when they tell you you’re crazy?)
• Feel so out of control?
• Feel like everything falls on your shoulders more and more each day?
• Take on responsibilities that should be your loved one’s because he or she does not or will not do them?
• Dread and/or even avoid social and family events because you don’t know how your addict will behave?
• Beg or plead with your loved one to please stop drinking or drugging?
• Consider getting out of their life at least once a day but keep coming back for more?
• Love and hate them at the same time?
• Want to figure out how to help them but nothing seems to work?
• Tire of hearing promise after promise only to be disappointed when they just go back to their old behaviors again and again?
• Get sick or tired or feel drained and down more than you used to?
• Have money or other financial problems due to your loved one’s addiction?
• Wonder if they really are using (or drinking or gambling or cheating or spending) because, even though you are pretty sure they are, they keep telling you they absolutely are not?
• Believe their lies again and again even after you have caught them over and over again in past lies?

Whether you answered yes to many, all, or just a few of the above questions, someone’s behavior is irritating you and you want to figure out what’s going on and what to do about it!
