We who are in recovery have managed with the help
of a Higher Power, to rise phoenix-like from the
bonfire of our addictive vanities. But how should
our loved ones deal with this strange but vaguely
familiar creature that has re-entered their lives?
People in early recovery are often touchy and
emotionally fragile. The best thing that family
members can do for this \u2018phoenix\u2019 is to stay
detached but supportive while they themselves go

out to be a wobbly, ambivalent and slightly lame
duck, that does not necessarily mean disaster. The
first baby steps are often faltering. Family
members are advised to remember the \u2018Three C\u2019s\u2019

cannot control this. Sometimes loved ones are so
