A1: Having a doctor and working through a regimented program gives you a support group and a better chance at succeeding! You can utilize alumni, and hopefully will have access to a therapist. #CADAChat
Thanks to everyone who participated in today's #RBRoundTable chat. Such a great discussion about something that's hugely important. We'll be back in a month with another chat. In the meantime, be well. And tell your friends about us, too!
A8: Use your google calendar or all of those apps out there to set aside some "me-time". There's so many meditation apps and daily reminders you can use so that you make sure to put yourself first! #RBRoundTable https://t.co/Bw9Po2NiqX
A8: I think you have to work at it. It's not easy. Especially early on. It helps to plan things ahead of time. And, even though you may be tempted, STICK TO YOUR PLANS. Don't let a loved one's behavior control YOU!! #RBRoundTable
A7: All on the same page today! Support groups will help you realize you're NOT alone on this journey. If you're unsure of what your town has to offer, go online or ask city officials to point you in the right direction, or create your own! #RBRoundTable

@RecoveryBrands You have to learn to love yourself. I truly think that this is one of the hardest things in life- and trying to do it while your loved one is struggling makes it even more difficult! #RBRoundTable
Q7: Thankfully, there are many support groups and lots of information out there for loved ones. What are some resources you would recommend? #RBRoundTable
Putting yourself first goes against basic human instinct. But once you start doing it, you figure out why it's so important. #RBRoundTable https://t.co/ukPT6ewHQ2
A6: You're no good to anyone if you're not at/near your best physically and emotionally. Plus, YOUR life is the only one you have complete control over...so you need to focus on taking care of YOU first. #RBRoundTable
A5: Don't shy away from the tough conversations. They are the only ones that will help create change. Be open & honest, don't use judgement or threats when trying to nudge them on the road to recovery. #RBRoundTable https://t.co/uu14rCX0R7
Q5: Everyone wants to see their struggling loved one get the help they need. What are some ways to begin and navigate these difficult conversations? #RBRoundTable
