Handling Relapses: Staying Strong When Living with an Alcoholic

Don't be afraid of a relapse. If a relapse happens, it happens. It's just part of the cycle. But don't accept unacceptable behavior either, and by all means if it's a dangerous situation for you or your children, or you and your children get out, get out, walk away and leave that situation, because it's not going to get any better.
Relapses are a harsh reality for many living with an alcoholic. In this episode of 'Living with an Alcoholic,' Logan opens up about her personal journey and the strategies she's found effective in these challenging times. She dives into the emotional whirlwind that comes with witnessing a loved one relapse and shares practical advice on how to keep your sanity intact.
Logan stresses the importance of setting firm boundaries and not tolerating unacceptable behavior, no matter how difficult it may be. Her message is clear: while it's essential to treat your loved one with compassion, you must also prioritize your own safety and well-being. If things get dangerous, she urges you to step away for your own protection.
This episode is a heartfelt guide for anyone facing the tumultuous cycle of addiction, offering a blend of empathy and actionable steps to navigate through the storm.
