I think it's important to say also, when you say sticking it out, that it was more than sticking it out like they should be proud of you because you stayed with Steve, but you did like work for yourself and for your family.
Ever wondered why so many people keep their battles with addiction hidden from the world? In this episode of The Boy Problems Podcast, hosts Katie, Jessica, and Shannon sit down with a licensed therapist to dig into the heart of anonymity in the context of substance use disorder. They explore why individuals often choose to separate their addiction stories from their everyday lives, diving deep into the emotions of shame, guilt, and fear that fuel this decision.
Privacy, judgement, stigma, and the fear of being misunderstood are just some of the factors that weigh heavily on these choices. The conversation doesn't stop there. They also touch on topics like boundaries, relationships, and the delicate dance of recovery. By sharing their own experiences and professional insights, the hosts and their guest offer a raw and honest look at the pros and cons of revealing one's struggles.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is. It provides not just understanding but also valuable resources and a sense of community. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of why so many still live in the shadows of addiction.
