You create boundaries because you love a person. And the only thing is, you know, when you're talking to somebody is to state the facts. The battle is against the disease, not the person.
When a loved one is grappling with addiction, the line between helping and enabling can become blurry. In this episode of Wehab - Your Recovery Community, Dr. Terry is joined by seasoned addiction treatment professionals Aine Wilson and Jayson Myles. Together, they dive into the complexities of supporting someone in active addiction without falling into the trap of enabling.
They break down terms like enabling, co-dependency, and Al-Anon, shedding light on how these dynamics play out in real life and offering practical advice for those affected by a loved one's addiction. This conversation is rich with insights, addressing the emotional toll on families, the fear of losing a loved one, and the impact on self-esteem.
By the end of the episode, listeners will have a clearer understanding of how to set healthy boundaries and foster supportive relationships that encourage recovery. Tune in for actionable tips and heartfelt discussions that aim to guide families toward a healthier dynamic amidst the challenges of addiction.
