This moment of reflection can help you manage your anxiety and approach the situation with a calm demeanor. She emphasizes the distinction between helping your loved one and attempting to solve their problems entirely. This differentiation is crucial in ensuring that you are supporting them without enabling destructive behavior.<\/p><p>Drawing from her own journey of recovery, Jennifer highlights the necessity of allowing natural consequences to unfold. She argues that experiencing these consequences can be a powerful catalyst for change.<\/p><p>Here are some actionable strategies you can apply:<\/p><ul><li>Take a Pause: Before responding, take a deep breath and assess the situation calmly.<\/li><li>Understand the Difference: Recognize when you&#8217;re being helpful versus when you&#8217;re solving their problems for them.<\/li><li>Allow Natural Consequences: Encourage responsibility by stepping back and letting consequences play out.<\/li><li>Set Healthy Boundaries: Establish clear boundaries to protect your well-being while supporting your loved one.<\/li><\/ul><p>This approach is insightful, it&#8217;s also important to acknowledge that every situation is unique. In rare cases, immediate intervention might be necessary, especially if the individual&#8217;s safety is at risk. Always consider seeking professional guidance in such scenarios.<\/p><p>If you want support navigating this conversation, please reach out.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2a7899a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2a7899a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-099fcd8\" data-id=\"099fcd8\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3c472e6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"3c472e6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/positivelyasheville.com\/index.php\/business-directory\/listing\/autpr\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">CONTACT<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jennifer Maneely, founder of  The Recovering Family, a nonprofit organization., discusses ways to approach the subject of talking to a loved one who struggles with substance abuse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5703,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"elementor_header_footer","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[114,198],"tags":[141,166,116],"class_list":["post-5702","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-member-posts","category-recent-posts","tag-asheville-events","tag-leadership-workshop","tag-positively-asheville"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 5.0.1.1 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Jennifer Maneely, founder of The Recovering Family, a nonprofit organization., discusses ways to approach the subject of talking to a loved one who struggles with substance abuse.\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"max-image-preview:large\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"author\" content=\"positivelyasheville\"\/>\n\t<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/positivelyasheville.com\/index.php\/2025\/09\/22\/member-message-are-you-helping-or-solving-their-problems\/\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"generator\" content=\"All in One SEO (AIOSEO) 5.0.1.1\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Positively Asheville - Insights for Leading Positive Change\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Member Message: Are You Helping or Solving Their Problems?
