Families coping with these diseases often feel alone and uncertain. Often family members try to help in ways that end up making the situation worse; others give up; others don’t know what to do.\nDual Anon\, through weekly meetings\, provides a base of support and educational information. We share each other’s struggles and provide an atmosphere of care and understanding. We all know what it’s like to see our loved one fall apart and to wish we could hold him together with our two hands; then watch him fall apart anyway. We understand the chaos that addiction and emotional or psychiatric illness bring to families.” (Courtesy of dualanon.org)\nFor more information on the Dual Anon program\, click here https://dualanon.org/\nFor more information on the Fall River/New Bedford Recovery Connection Center\, click here https://www.southeastrlc.org/fall-river \nWe hope to “see” you soon via Zoom!
