Addiction's Storm: Navigating the Turbulence with Tom Conrad

Addiction destroys families, it destroys everything in its path and it cares for absolutely nobody.
Addiction can feel like being caught in a relentless hurricane, and Tom Conrad knows this all too well. In this gripping episode of Real Recovery Talk, Tom draws a vivid comparison between addiction and a Category 5 hurricane. At the eye of the storm, there's a deceptive calm, but the outer bands are chaotic and destructive, much like the cycles of addiction.
This episode isn't just about the addicts themselves; it's also a lifeline for their loved ones who often get swept up in the chaos. Tom emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries and protecting oneself from the emotional turmoil that addiction can bring. He offers practical advice on recognizing manipulation and dealing with the fallout of addiction's destructive path. Whether you're battling addiction or supporting someone who is, Tom's insights provide a beacon of hope and a roadmap to recovery.
Tune in for an eye-opening discussion that could help you weather the storm.
