Addiction & Healing Resources
Addiction and healing can feel overwhelming and isolating, but I promise—you’re not alone. There are countless programs, foundations, books, and research available to support you, many at little to no cost. I’ve organized these resources into three categories: one for those struggling with addiction, one for their loved ones (and yes, you might find yourself in more than one—raising my hand!), and one for relationship support. Feel free to explore all the links.
You’ll find everything from books and articles to blog posts and meeting locators. Be sure to check back often—I’ll keep updating this list so you always have access to fresh, helpful resources.
