When the System Didn’t Work: A Personal Recovery Story
Nicole Bleau
When someone you love is struggling with addiction, the world suddenly feels both very small and unbearably loud. Everyone has an opinion, friends, family members, mental health professionals, strangers on the internet. Most of the advice revolves around the same formulas: 12-step programs, tough love, inpatient rehab. Many are told, “if they don’t really want it, you’re wasting your time,” which is impossible to hear when it involves someone you love so much.
