What dod the need to know:

1. The situation: Famiy and close friends need to understand that the balon of a recovering addict needs to be guraded with care for it not to burst. In the event that is bursts, several steps backwards will have to be retraced. This will be a waste iof time and resources.

2. Support: When the people concered understandd dthe situation, they need to provide encouragement to the affected individual as they guide them to ful recovery.

3. Separation: Family and friends dduring this process need to ensure the necesary distance is kept away from other peers that woud pull the recoveree success story down. Seclusion at times remain the only way for a specified period of time to build self confidence in the addict that they can on principle stand alone against taking the intoxicants that ruin their body.
