10 May Time for the reset button? Who’s by your side?

“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.” -Henry David Thoreau

As we celebrate mothers, fathers and new graduates this time of year, we are also celebrating the importance of families. We may not always see eye to eye with our family members, but we know we can count on them during the pivotal points in our lives.

Are you ready to do something new and different? Whatever dreams and aspirations you have in life, they’re easier to conquer with the encouragement and support from your family.

Unfortunately, addiction creates an emotional rollercoaster for parents, spouses, siblings and other close family members, and it can tear apart relationships. You may feel like the rift created by your addiction is too great. But the bonds of family are resilient — don’t give up!

It’s never too late for a renewal of those family bonds. You can push the reset button. The change starts with you.

Even with your family by your side, however, you won’t get anywhere if you’re not working on your addiction. Treatment provides that reset button you need.

Think of it as a rebirth — you’ll come out as a brand new person. How often do you get such an empowering opportunity to start fresh in life?

You can still live the life you’ve imagined. You can still be the child, sibling and spouse you know you can be. Don’t let addiction tell you otherwise. We’ve helped countless others fight this disease and we can say with confidence that no barrier is too great to overcome.

Are you ready for the reset button? The first step can be as simple as a phone call to Olalla Recovery Centers. Even if you’ve tried treatment before and stumbled, let’s have an honest conversation on what it will take for you to succeed, no matter where you are on your journey to recovery.
