To recover something means finding something you have lost. 

What you have lost is you. 

It doesn't matter if you are the person with substance use issues, process addictions or the family member...​     ​
     you have still lost you.
"It's an inside job!"

  • Why do I always give in?
  • I just want to be able to stop worrying.
  • I can't leave them in the house alone!
  • Every time the phone rights, I jump!
  • I don't know how to not give them money.
  • But what if they have no where to go?
  • I can't leave them in jail!
  • What if they lose their job?!
  • I have to give them money for food.
  • I have no choice but to give up my plans!
  • I don't know why I can't stay clean and sober!
  • I don't know what just happened.
  • I was fine and then I wasn't!
  • I just want to stop... I just don't know how.
  • Why can't I stop?
  • I thought I was doing everything right.
  • I just wanted the pain to stop.
  • I need to stop feeling.
  • I feel so guilty!
  • How do I face my family?
  • How did this happen... again?
  • I thought things would be better now that I am sober!
  • What if they see who I really am?

Problems I can help with

Jodi Takhar RTC, Cht

I know how much it hurts to watch your addicted loved one spiral out of control and you feel ​like the enemy.  I also know what it feels like to suffer with substance use disorder (addiction), gambling, shopping addiction, phone or technology addiction, and food addiction.  
I am a granddaughter, daughter, sister, foster parent, wife and ex-wife, cousin and friend of people in either active addiction or recovery.  I am also a person in long-term recovery with more than 25 years of abstinence from drugs and alcohol.
