May is Mental Health Awareness Month, but for Danny Deaton, simply raising awareness isn't enough. In this episode of 'Your Living Proof Podcast', Danny and his wife EJ dive into the real-life challenges families face when dealing with addiction and mental health issues. Danny opens up about why the concept of 'awareness' often makes him cringe and how we can all do better by taking concrete actions.
Together, they discuss the harsh realities many families endure, where loved ones are losing their grip on life. Danny talks about the difference between genuinely helping a loved one and enabling them in ways that are counterproductive. He shares heartfelt advice on how families can find peace when they've truly done everything they can to help, versus those who are unknowingly enabling harmful behaviors. The episode also touches on powerful quotes that resonate deeply with their message, like Dallin H.
Oaks' saying, 'You will never have enough of what you don’t need because what you don’t need will never satisfy you'. If you're grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is, this candid conversation offers valuable insights and practical steps to take. Tune in for a raw, honest discussion that goes beyond mere awareness and into the realm of meaningful action.
