You love someone who is struggling with addiction. This is a tough spot, and it's easy to feel lost, guilty, or angry. This chapter is for you. We'll look at what addiction really is, how it affects families, and why it's not about blame. Forget what you think you know from movies or old stories. Addiction isn't a moral failing. It's not a choice someone makes every day to hurt you or themselves. It's a complex health condition.
