Love With Boundaries

A moment for self-reflection... when you love an addict.

This Valentine's Day let the love story start with you! 🩷

The way you treat yourself sets the foundation for every relationship you allow into your life. If you don’t respect yourself, if you believe you deserve less, that belief quietly shapes who and what you attract.

I'm excited for tomorrow when our book "Voices of the 21st Century: Unstoppable Women Standing Strong" launches.

Please save the date and support me and my co-authors as we achieve Bestseller status on February 3!

I'll be sharing links to purchase the book at $0.99 on Tuesday morning.

My story is about the resilience that can come from life’s challenges.

✨ “It isn’t too late — until it is.”

You might have read articles, watched talks, or tried everything you can think of to help a loved one struggling with addiction — yet nothing seems to change. Many wait because it feels like there’s more time… until that moment we wish we could take back.

You’re Not Alone in This

So many people tell us they’ve followed blogs, podcasts, videos, newsletters… yet they never reached out for help. Until now. Why? Maybe fear. Maybe thinking they had more time. Maybe feeling no one would truly understand.

You deserve support. Your family deserves peace.

I DISAGREE with the professionals in the addiction field that say relapse is simply a part of the recovery experience!

As we move into 2026, why not make self-care in priority?

It is OK to put yourself first and then give to others when you are filled up, especially if you are a loved one of an addict.

As you may already know, at Love With Boundaries we are committed to helping families that are struggling with addiction. For that reason, we are gifting everyone in our community the Anchoring Hope During the Holidays webinar recording that I did with my colleague Charmaine Hammond on November 22nd.

We are very aware of how challenging this time of year can be for families when addiction is present, and we want to support you by sharing this recording that outlines actionable steps you can take for the best chance of enjoying a pleasant and peaceful holiday with your loved ones.

We know it's hard, but addicts need to make a choice.

"I had to choose to recover from my addiction, and then I had to be willing to learn to face a life that wasn't very pleasant without the use of mind-altering drugs. But here I am over 38 years later." - Candace Plattor

During a recent Love With Boundaries team meeting, a colleague said, “It’s not too late, until it is.” I thought that was a brilliant statement, and it perfectly captures the importance of reaching out for help when there is addiction in the family.

If this article describes your current situation, please reach out for help—before it’s too late. At Love With Boundaries, we know how to help you.

My hope is that families who need help will reach out for it now, before it’s too late. Please remember that it isn’t too late – until it is.

Thank you for featuring me and the Love With Boundaries team in your case study Charmaine! Helping families of addicted loved ones is very important to us.

I look forward to today's webinar, happening at 11am PT, called Anchoring Hope for Those Who Love an Addict.
