What is there to say? Families and friends of people with Substance Use Disorders (SUD) are in a very difficult place. They try many different strategies and tricks - and sometimes they even look like they are going to work. But then - usually they don't. It's hard to explain that to anyone who hasn't been there. 

Let's call the person who displays addictive behavior the 'SUD-ster.' And then - even the the time when the 'SUD-ster' is in the transition from active addiction to early sustained recovery is still frustrating and difficult for family and friends. Anyone who has been involved in this or watched it happen knows this very well. 

For example, the wife who has been the patient, overly responsible martyr during the years of addicted life now is supposed to stand back while her husband tries to take over running his life - and the family. This predictably creates new resentments and chaos that can overshadow the initial relief in stopping experience of coping with the pain of active addiction.
