Your loved one is leading a destructive life – but that doesn’t mean your life has to be destroyed as well.  Stronger Together is an addiction support group for family and friends of those struggling with addiction.  Following a recovery plan written specifically for families, you’ll learn to support your loved one in a way that is healthy for both of you.

You’ll benefit from the encouragement and experience of other families facing similar circumstances.  Move from chaos and despair to joy and purpose.  Join Stronger Together.

Note: There are two Stronger Together Facebook groups for those who are interested in joining. The first one is a private group in which only group members can see members or their posts. Access the private group here.

 

The second group is a public group, which was established to enable people to share useful posts that are made in the group (e.g., meeting information, helpful links, etc.). Although this group is public, you do have the option of posting anonymously.  Access the public group here.

Stronger Together offers both face-to-face and virtual options.  Groups meet twice monthly, for an hour and a half.  Meetings provide an opportunity to learn more about family recovery principles and a chance for attendees to share their own specific concerns and challenges.  View the various meeting options below.

The Stronger Together 12 Steps
 

These are the 12 steps that are followed in the Stronger Together program.

  1. I admit my loved one is being harmed by their use of drugs or alcohol.

  2. I grieve the loss of a healthy relationship with my loved one and the expectations I have for their future.

  3. I release my burden of guilt by refusing to accept responsibility for my loved one's choices.

  4. I recognize I am powerless to control my loved one and that my worry is unproductive.

  5. I refuse to support my loved one's destructive behavior and I allow them to experience the natural consequences of their actions.

  6. I acknowledge the negative impact my loved one is having on my family and take necessary steps to restore peace to my home.

  7. I develop coping strategies to promote my physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health.

  8. I identify ways in which good can emerge from my circumstances.

  9. I forgive the hurt my loved one is causing me and remain open to future reconciliation.

  10. I make a conscious decision to love unconditionally, offering dignity and respect.

  11. I accept my inability to change my loved one and I relinquish responsibility for their life.

  12. I find hope by focusing on my future and living a life of purpose.
