Reset My Future Founder, Graeme Alford, is joined by Ray Pascoe, Family Support Director, for an informative discussion on how to support a loved one with alcoholism, addiction or substance abuse issues.

Ray has first-hand experience on this topic, having supported his own daughter with her addiction and into recovery. Now he dedicates his time to working with the families of Reset My Future’s clients- seeing them go through the same emotional roller coaster ride that he went on himself. Observing them struggle with the same questions, the same skepticism, and the same anger as he once did. 

With his daughter now 6 years sober and free from substances, his experience continuing to support her in her recovery has enabled him to reflect on the process in a much clearer way and hopefully help other families who are at the start of their journey.
