Dear Mil1234,

I am so sorry to hear what you are going through. It sounds like you need people to speak to. There are loads of support groups for people in your situation out there! Family members need support in their own rights, and talking to people going through the same thing can be really useful. The Adfam website has a service map so you can find support groups near you.

You are doing really well.

Best wishes,

Clara

Hi Mil1234

I just had another thought – NACOA (National Association for Children of Alcoholics) runs a helpline if you want to talk to someone about what you are going through. Childline is also worth calling for advice and to get things off your chest.

Best wishes,

Clara

Hi Mil1234,

I’m so sad to read your post. What you are going through is very tough for anyone, let alone someone of your age. Though very painful at first, you might find it does get easier to talk with people about how you are feeling, and that might become helpful to you.

You have been given some good advice on where to get help and, as well as those, you might try The Icarus Trust. We are a charity that supports people like you who are having to deal with a family member’s addiction. We have experienced, specialist people who you could talk with if you contact us. This is a free service.

You can contact us on help@icarustrust.org or visit the website http://www.icarustrust.org

I’m really hoping that youwill be able to get some help.

All the very best and good luck.
