💬 5 Tips to Start the Conversation With a Loved One About Substance Use

Talking to someone you care about can feel overwhelming—but connection is often the first step toward healing. Here are a few ways to open the door with compassion:

1️⃣ Choose the Right Time – Find a quiet, calm moment when you both have space to talk.

2️⃣ Speak With Love, Not Blame – Focus on concern, not accusations. “I’ve noticed you seem overwhelmed lately.”

3️⃣ Use “I” Statements – “I feel worried…” instead of “You’re messing up…”

4️⃣ Be Ready to Listen – Silence is okay. Let them process. Let them speak.

5️⃣ Offer Support, Not Solutions – “I’m here with you. We can look at help together when you’re ready.”

💙 These moments take courage, but you’re not alone. If you or your loved one need guidance, we’re here to help.

Supporting a loved one through addiction is never easy — but you don’t have to do it alone.

Here are 5 things families can do when someone they love is struggling with substance use:

1. Start by listening, not fixing.

2. Learn about addiction — it’s a disease, not a moral failing.

3. Set boundaries that protect your wellbeing.

4. Avoid enabling behaviors — even when it’s hard.

5. Reach out for help — you’re not supposed to do this alone.

At New Found Life, we’ve been working with families for over 30 years. We’re here to guide you, too.

Happy 4th of July from all of us at New Found Life!
Today we celebrate freedom—and for those in recovery, that means something especially powerful.

We’re also honored to celebrate a very special milestone:
Congratulations to Leo BoothBooth on 48 years of recovery! 💙
Leo always joins us for the 4th of July BBQ, and his presence and inspiration continue to light the way for so many on this journey.

Thank you, Leo—for showing us what long-term recovery looks like.
Here’s to freedom, faith, and showing up—one day at a time. 🙏🎇

“Recovery means showing up for yourself—even on a holiday.” 💙

The 4th of July can be fun—but it can also be overwhelming, especially for those in early recovery.

Showing up for yourself might mean:
🔹 Skipping a party
🔹 Calling your sponsor
🔹 Saying “no” to old habits
🔹 Saying “yes” to your healing

Whatever it looks like for you today… it’s enough.
You’re doing the work—and we’re proud of you.

Healing doesn’t happen in a hurry. Recovery takes time—and that’s okay. 💙

At New Found Life, we’ve seen it for more than 30 years: real recovery doesn’t come from a quick fix—it comes from structure, support, and time to grow.

Whether you’re just starting the journey, walking with a loved one, or reflecting on your own progress, please remember: it’s okay to go slow. It’s okay to need help. You’re not alone.
