Loving someone who is battling addiction can leave you carrying questions no one seems able to answer.How do you help without enabling? When should you step in, and when should you allow consequences to unfold? Can you establish boundaries without abandoning someone you love? And how do you continue trusting God when you have prayed, waited, and watched the same painful patterns continue?When Someone You Love Is Battling Addiction offers compassionate, Scripture-grounded guidance for families navigating drug or alcohol addiction, treatment, relapse, broken trust, and the difficult journey toward recovery.Drawing from approximately eighteen years of experience as a probation officer, Victoria Jacoby combines professional insight, biblical truth, practical guidance, and honest encouragement to help you face reality without losing hope-or losing yourself in someone else's choices.Inside, you will learn how to: - Recognize the difference between support and enabling- Establish boundaries without abandoning compassion- Respond to relapse, treatment, and broken trust with wisdom- Protect children, finances, safety, and your own well-being- Release guilt and stop carrying another person's recovery- Rebuild trust according to consistent actions-not promises alone- Trust God when you cannot control the outcomeThrough the CLEAR framework, you will learn to confront reality with compassion, learn what belongs to you, establish healthy boundaries, act from wisdom rather than panic, and release the outcome to God.Whether your loved one is considering treatment, returning home, experiencing relapse, or still refusing help, this book will help you take the next faithful step.You cannot choose recovery for someone else. But you can choose truth, wisdom, safety, faith, and hope without pretending.You can love them without losing yourself.
