Good people are great at making poor decisions. And if you don't do something, nothing will change.
Ever thought about how even the best of us can make poor choices? Danny and EJ Deaton dive into this very topic in episode 37 of 'Your Living Proof Podcast'. They share a candid conversation about the harsh realities families face when dealing with addiction and mental health struggles. The Deatons aren't just talking heads; they've lived through addiction, divorce, teenage pregnancy, and incarceration. Now, they use their experiences to support other families grappling with similar issues.
In this episode, they shed light on how addiction doesn't discriminate—it can hit any family, no matter how 'perfect' they seem from the outside. They talk about the emotional rollercoaster parents endure when their kids struggle with addiction and mental health problems. One of the key points Danny and EJ discuss is the manipulative nature of addiction. It's a sneaky beast that can wreak havoc on relationships and trust.
They share personal stories and practical advice on breaking free from these destructive cycles. The episode also introduces their Raising Kids in Combat (RKIC) workshop, designed to help parents navigate these turbulent waters. Whether you're a parent feeling helpless or someone who wants to understand addiction better, this episode offers a blend of empathy and actionable steps. It's a raw, honest look at the struggles inside every home affected by addiction.
Tune in for a heartfelt discussion that could be the first step towards healing and understanding.
