Regardless of how old you are – if you were raised with addiction, you deserve to be acknowledged.
Picture growing up in a home shadowed by addiction—where fear and shame are constant companions. This is the reality for many children, and it’s the focus of this heartfelt episode of 'The Addicted Mind Podcast'. Host Duane Osterlind sits down with Dr. Claudia Black, a leading expert on addiction and codependency, to unpack the emotional toll addiction takes on young lives. Dr.
Black, who has dedicated over 40 years to this field, shares her insights from her book 'It Will Never Happen to Me: Growing Up with Addiction as Youngsters, Adolescents, and Adults'.

But it’s not all grim; Dr. Black offers hope and practical advice for breaking these damaging cycles.
She talks about the importance of recognizing and validating childhood experiences and provides actionable steps to foster healthier family dynamics. From learning to say no to shifting family roles, this episode is a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction. It’s an eye-opening conversation that underscores the resilience of children and the power of acknowledgment in the healing process.
