Behind the Battle: A note from the Founder

My name is Dari Williams, and I started Behind the Battle Foundation because I’ve been where you are. I’ve carried the weight of loving someone in active addiction. I’ve felt the helplessness, the isolation, and the shame. I’ve lived the pain most people never see.

This blog was created to shine a light on the lives that often go unseen — the families left behind in the battle. Here, you’ll find more than just stories. You’ll find hope, healing, support, and solidarity.

We’ll share:

Personal journeys and real family stories
Updates on our foundation’s progress
Tips and resources for navigating life alongside addiction
Voices from the community
Ways you can get involved or just feel less alone

No more silence. No more shame. This is our space to speak, to heal, and to rise — together.

From my heart to yours,

Dari Williams
Founder, Behind the Battle Foundation
