We’re here to help when you feel helpless.
Support, community, and resources for when a loved one is facing addiction.
The Ripple Effect of Addiction
Addiction is powerful. And when a person is addicted to something, that power not only overtakes them, but like a ripple effect, it consumes the hearts and minds of those of us who love them.
Instead of focusing on our own lives, we become desperate to save our addicted person and will try anything to get them healthy. The addiction becomes our focus, but the stigma of the addiction keeps us from talking about it. We don’t want our loved one to be labeled an “addict”, and we don’t want our own family issues to be put on display. Thoughts like, “Was I a bad parent, an unlovable partner, or an unsupportive friend?” plague us, and we become trapped in the cycle of fear, shame, and powerlessness.
The effect of the addiction doesn’t just happen to your loved one. It happens to you. And this is the place where you can do something about it. In the same way one drop of water creates a ripple effect on the whole pond, your healthy actions can change you and have a positive effect on those you love – especially on those who are addicted.
Join our community, where we focus on the common, yet unique experience of loving someone who is addicted. Let your drop of water be a force for change, for you, for your loved one, and for others.

About
Our Story
Family Recovery Collective was created by Erin McNamee, a therapist and former clinical director specializing in addiction and recovery, and Neely Carlton Lyons, a lawyer and recovery coach with years of experience helping families.
Both founders work closely with people and families impacted by addiction, and they’ve seen the tremendous toll it can take on the entire family. It wasn’t until their own loved ones were affected by the disease that they truly understood the urgent need for accessible resources and support. That’s when Family Recovery Collective was born.
