When you're letting an individual that is addicted to substances and using in a destructive manner and their life is headed downward- and it's been a long time since they've made a good decision- you fire them from the decision making and you don't allow the tail wag the dog.
How often do families settle for the appearance of change rather than the real deal? In this episode of 'The Party Wreckers', hosts Matt Brown and Sam Davis tackle this very issue. They shed light on how easy it is for families to grasp at quick fixes, which only create an illusion of progress in addiction recovery. Matt and Sam stress the importance of having those tough conversations and setting firm boundaries to achieve genuine change.
They argue that allowing addicted individuals to call the shots can often lead to more harm than good. Instead, they advocate for taking control by removing addicts from decision-making roles and focusing on real solutions. The duo also explores the nuances between being connected and being attached, a subtle yet crucial distinction in supporting a loved one through recovery. Their candid discussion offers practical advice and heartfelt insights, making it a must-listen for anyone navigating the complexities of addiction.
Tune in for an episode filled with raw truths and valuable guidance that can help transform the recovery journey.
