The Supporters Survival Guide

This course is a trauma‑informed companion to Heartbreaks and Addictions, the memoir by William Chapman — a raw, honest account of what it’s like to live with addiction. His story offers insight into the emotional chaos, spiritual confusion, and relational strain that addiction creates. But this course isn’t just about understanding his experience. It’s about helping you survive your own. Designed for supporters — partners, parents, friends, and faith‑based caregivers — this guide offers: - emotional clarity about the patterns and behaviors addiction creates - step‑by‑step tools to protect your nervous system, set boundaries, and stay grounded - reflection prompts to help you reconnect with your own identity and healing - practical strategies for supporting someone in recovery without losing yourself
