Do you love someone with an addiction? Are you hurting, overwhelmed, or losing yourself while trying to save them?
If so-you're not alone.
Loving someone in active addiction can feel like living in a storm you never asked to enter. You may be desperate for answers, scrambling to keep life together, or trapped in the emotional rollercoaster of someone else's destructive behaviour. Watching someone you love disappear into addiction is heartbreaking-like mourning a person who is still alive.
But here's the truth:
Their addiction is harming you, too.
You have the right to reclaim your life, protect your peace, and put yourself first.
In Saving You Is Killing Me: Loving Someone with an Addiction, author and Positive Psychology practitioner Andrea Seydel blends lived experience with the science of resilience and human flourishing to guide you back to yourself.
Inside, you'll learn how to:
- Stop losing yourself in someone else's addiction
- Break free from codependent patterns and constant enabling
- Set healthy boundaries without guilt
- Prioritize self-care, mental health, and emotional safety
- Heal from manipulation, toxic relationship cycles, and betrayal trauma
- Rebuild confidence, joy, and inner strength
- Shift the focus from saving them to saving yourself
