Family Ties and Addiction: Coping and Healing Together

It's not our place to judge anyone, it's our place to love and accept and help.
Addiction doesn't just affect the person struggling with it; it ripples through their entire family. In this episode of 'Live Rite Tonight', host Brenda Maks invites Danielle to share her deeply personal story of growing up in a family overshadowed by addiction. Danielle opens up about how these experiences have shaped her life and relationships, and offers practical advice on how families can navigate these turbulent waters.
From the importance of setting boundaries to practicing self-care through yoga and meditation, this conversation is packed with valuable insights. Danielle also highlights the significance of family peer groups and other recovery outlets, stressing that addiction is a disease that requires love, acceptance, and comprehensive support. As society emerges from the isolation of COVID-19, this episode serves as a timely reminder to prioritize self-care and continue supporting those affected by addiction.
With new initiatives like family peer support groups and a grief group on the horizon, 'Live Rite Tonight' provides a beacon of hope for families seeking to heal together.
