"I began attending the group in 2008 after 12 years of caring for someone with a heroin addiction.

Rebound has given me the strength to say ‘no’ without the accompanying feelings of guilt. It helped me to understand the nature of addiction and co-dependency.

I now realise that by ‘supporting’ the person we care for, in reality we are enabling them to carry on with a destructive way of being. I have come to accept that I am not responsible for another person’s happiness.

I would recommend Rebound to anyone who feels trapped in an unhealthy relationship with someone dependent on drink or drugs. It may not help them in the short term, but it will help you to let go and move on."
