I've been really actually surprised, like you know, I don't think I've told anyone new in a really long time and I've been places where you know it comes up in conversation of someone. But whenever we tell this, which is interesting, the fact that you know, you always find out how many other people have been impacted by addiction.
Ever felt the weight of keeping a loved one's addiction a secret? In this episode of the Boy Problems Podcast, hosts Katie, Jessica, and Shannon bravely open up about their 'coming out' stories. They discuss the fear and anxiety that comes with telling friends, family, and coworkers about a loved one's addiction. It's a conversation many of us dread, but one that's all too common.
Each host shares their unique experiences, revealing how they navigated these difficult conversations and the surprising responses they received. A recurring theme is the realization that many people have been touched by addiction, often responding with their own stories of struggle and support. This episode doesn't shy away from tough topics like treatment, relapse, and mental health. It’s an honest and heartfelt discussion that underscores the importance of breaking the silence and finding community in shared experiences.
