It's like going right back into the lion's den. So they go right back into that and what do they know better than to end up using and drinking again because they don't know how to process those emotions.
How does addiction ripple through a family? Episode 15 of the Sober Grind Podcast tackles this tough question head-on. The hosts dive deep into the concept of alcoholism and addiction as a family disease, breaking down the complex dynamics that affect not just the individual but everyone around them. You'll hear about the often-overlooked role of enabling behaviors and why they can be so damaging.
Plus, there's an eye-opening discussion on interventions—what they are, when to consider one, and how to do it right. The episode doesn't stop there. It also covers how families need to adapt and change to genuinely support their loved ones on the path to sobriety. The hosts emphasize the importance of avoiding old environments and building new, healthier support systems. Sponsorship and the steps in recovery get their due attention too, offering practical advice for anyone navigating these waters.
One of the most poignant parts of the episode is the conversation about the challenges parents face in letting go and trusting the process. If you're curious about becoming a certified interventionist, this episode provides a roadmap to help you get started. Whether you're dealing with addiction in your family or looking to support someone who is, this episode is packed with valuable insights and actionable advice.
Tune in for a compassionate, informative, and sometimes humorous look at how addiction affects the whole family.
