Positive change is possible when we support a friend or family member with substance use disorder (SUD).
For Robert, this support was shown by his sister. "My sister only seen the good part of me, always, no matter," Robert says. Sometimes, that support was as simple as sharing a smile with him and telling him that she loves him. Today, his recovery looks like showing that same support to others. Showing up and being a consistent and warm presence for our loved ones can have a seriously meaningful impact.
