Addiction is devastating. The hardest part of having a family member or a loved one with an addiction is watching them deteriorate. It's a condition that starts off innocently, with a person ingesting a substance like alcohol, nicotine, maybe one of the numerous drugs available, or possibly engaging in gambling, even shopping. It typically starts off as fun and pleasurable. But then things change. The continued use or act becomes compulsive and starts to interfere with one's life. Work, relationships, and health start to deteriorate. Sadly, many users may not be aware that their behavior has changed, they've lost control and it's causing problems for themselves and others.
