Addiction impacts more than just the individual struggling with it. Parents often experience deep emotional pain, confusion, and fear when their child is struggling. At Bridging the Gaps, we recognize that addiction can be a family matter, one that impacts parents, siblings, and caregivers alike. The emotional toll of addiction is significant, as constant worry, guilt, and helplessness can be overwhelming. It is important for families to know they are not alone in this struggle, and this is why support groups for parents of addicts are so vital. These groups are more than just emotional support. They create a sense of belonging, reduce isolation, and help families gain the tools needed to support loved ones's recovery.

Support groups for parents of addicts are a powerful resource for families trying to help their loved ones struggling with substance use.

💙 This Giving Tuesday, We’re Honored to Share Chris’s Story of Hope and Healing 💙

Every person who walks through our doors carries a story — one of struggle, courage, and the desire for change. Today, we’re sharing one of those stories in full.

Chris checked into Bridging the Gaps on Halloween last year, writing “I want to go home” on the bottom of every paper he turned in. What he didn’t know then was that he would go home — not the same, but healthier, hopeful, and ready to rebuild his life.

This Halloween, he came back to BTG by choice — to celebrate one year of sobriety, speak to current clients, reconnect with his sponsor, and reflect on the transformation that began here.

His full story is powerful, honest, and a reminder of why this work matters so deeply.

👇Read his full story below:

I used to write "I want to go home" on the bottom of every paper I turned in to Bridging the Gaps, so I think the idea that I get so excited to return is the sign of some growth. I checked into Bridging the Gaps on Halloween of last year, and returned this past Halloween to celebrate one year of sobriety. Bridging the Gaps gave me the opportunity to do an alumni speech and share my story with their current clients. I also visited my old home group and received a one-year chip from my first sponsor while I was in town. I am thankful for the staff at Bridging the Gaps and everyone I've met through Alcoholics Anonymous. I was not able to achieve sobriety through my old ways of thinking, and I've had some incredible mentors who've imparted their wisdom and given me a better design for living. I will continue to strive to learn more and to help other alcoholics whenever I can. I would especially like to thank Becca, who guided me through a process that helped me learn more about myself, and Cindy for being an incredible role model, and both for absolutely refusing to put up with my BS. Since leaving Bridging the Gaps, I've moved back home, completed a four-month IOP program through Fairfax County Community Service Board, stayed active in Alcoholics Anonymous, and began working again. It was not that long ago that I genuinely believed that I was simply incapable of getting healthy, and I am constantly in awe that my life has returned to normal (but with more optimism, gratefulness, and peace than before). At my sickest, I would not have believed that one year of sobriety was possible, let alone that I would be celebrating it at a Halloween party in an AA clubhouse dressed as the red Teletubby. All the gifts in my life are stemmed from my sobriety, and my sobriety is achieved by working the program, so I will continue to work the program, one day at a time. - Chris, BTG Alumni
