# In a family's own words

> If a family member or friend is struggling with addiction to alcohol or a drug, it’s normal and human to feel hopeless, scared, and clueless about the “right” thing to do.
>
> As the chaos around the addiction becomes seemingly unmanageable, you’re more and more inclined to try to do anything to stop the chaos. It takes over your lives.
>
> My wife and I were living this nightmare with a family member—until we were referred to Gianna Yunker.
>
> Gianna worked on getting the individual’s recovery heading in the right direction, but she also provided their family and friends with guidance and counseling that was kind and empathetic. She explained the difference between rescue that supports the addiction, and loving boundaries that support recovery.
>
> We really appreciated the care that she took explaining the process, and that she was concerned with our recovery as well as the family member’s.
>
> There is a long road ahead, but it feels different knowing there is a caring expert who can guide our next steps.
>
> If you’re in this situation, give Gianna a call. She is wonderful and will help your family, too.
