    Dear Emily

    I am so sorry to hear about your mother’s struggle with addiction and the effect it is having on you and your life. I wonder if it would help you to speak to someone who has the experience of what you are going through.

    I work with a charity called The Icarus Trust that was set up to support families and friends of addicts. We have experienced and trained volunteers called Family Friends who you could talk to if you wanted to. It is a free service.

    If you are interested, you can contact us by email on help@icarustrust.org or you can visit our website http://www.icarustrust.org

    Do make sure that you also take care of yourself.

    Kind regards

    Charlotte

    Dear Lyndsey

    I am sorry to hear about the tragic events of losing your loved ones in such a short space of time from illnesses and alcoholism. It must be so difficult to have to watch your sister struggling with same addiction to alcohol as your brother.

    Should you wish to speak to someone who has the same experience of what you are going through with your sister, I work for a charity called The Icarus Trust. The charity was set up to support families and friends of addicts.

    We have experienced and trained volunteers called Family Friends who you could talk to for support. It is a free service and you can contact us by email on help@icarustrust.org or visit our website http://www.icarustrust.org
