Start by having open and honest communication with your family. Explain your situation, and if it is help you are seeking ask for it. Opening up about addiction can be hard and overwhelming and sometimes we underestimate the strength and love that those in our lives have. Understand that this will not be an easy conversation, and allow your family to process. Do not get upset if their initial reaction does not go the way you plan in your mind. Honesty is key.
