Supporting a Loved One Through Addiction: Insights from Real Recovery Talk

The only thing you have control over are your actions. And she needs to get into some sort of program, whether it be, it doesn't matter where.
Watching someone you care about struggle with addiction can be heart-wrenching. In this episode of Real Recovery Talk, Tom Conrad and Ben tackle the delicate balance of helping without hurting. They dive into the tricky terrain of how well-meaning actions by parents and loved ones can sometimes do more harm than good. Instead of enabling, Tom and Ben advocate for 'detaching with love'—a method that involves setting healthy boundaries and allowing professionals to step in.
They share practical tips on how to support your loved one effectively while also taking care of your own emotional well-being. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to understand the nuances of offering support without crossing the line into enabling. Tom and Ben remind us that each person's journey to recovery is unique, and what works for one might not work for another. Tune in for a heartfelt discussion that offers both empathy and actionable advice.
