Niki Barr talks about how to support partners, friends and family with alcohol and/or other drug issues
"First and foremost, say you love them and are going to be there to support them."
We care for the important people in our lives in so many ways – by listening and talking about what’s going on with each other, by letting people know we are concerned about them, by sharing intimate moments or just by being there when we are needed… this is great and it’s not always easy.
In order to offer support to another person regarding problems they might be having with alcohol and/or other drug use, it’s important to look after your own health and wellbeing.
