Let's play a little word game.
Use five words to describe your loved one that is addicted, using, in recovery, living life on there terms, any anything else or these can be the words for yourself. You can identify the person or not, maybe just son, daughter spouse or just put down five words.
These words are what you want the WORLD to know. No need for explanation or justification. These words belong to you.
