To simply tell a family member they have no control over the substance use is IRRESPONSIBLE
WHY?
- It’s disempowering. It leads families to believe they’re trapped under the chaos of their loved one’s use.
- It’s only a partial truth.
It’s not the whole truth.
Research in cognitive behavioral science shows that
you DO have influence.
So many families I work with feel like they’re drowning under the chaos of their loved one’s drug or alcohol use, believing there’s absolutely nothing they can do.
AND IT’S JUST NOT TRUE.
So let me repeat: YOU. DO. HAVE. INFLUENCE.
In fact, you’re influencing your loved one all the time – for better or for worse…
CHANGE IS HARD
But you can influence the things that make it hard.

Madeleine is just amazing with family members. She is loving, kind and willing to be raw and vulnerable in her work. She clearly gets it. And she has this magical ability to shift seamlessly from knowledgeable facilitator to compassionate friend who is walking the same journey in the trenches of this horrible disease. I wish that I, and my family, had met her when I was still drinking.
That was really informative. I so appreciated your vulnerability in sharing your story, too.
Your presentation really hit close to home today. I really appreciate everything you shared, your understanding and your support.
Thanks for your vulnerability and rawness. It ratifies your advice and makes it super impactful.
