Danny and Emily Deaton, the dynamic duo behind the 'Your Living Proof Podcast', are back with another heartfelt episode. In 'The Illusion of CONTROL', they tackle the common but misguided belief that you can control a loved one's addiction. With their combined experiences of overcoming addiction, divorce, teenage pregnancy, and more, Danny and Emily offer a unique perspective on what it means to truly help someone struggling with addiction.
They share personal stories, practical advice, and emotional insights, all wrapped in a warm, family-like atmosphere that makes you feel like you're sitting at their kitchen table. Danny, who has been through severe drug, alcohol, and pornography addictions, emphasises that control is just an illusion. Emily adds her perspective of falling in love with Danny during his early recovery and learning the hard way about boundaries and support.
They both agree that trying to control an addict's behaviour only tightens the rope around your own neck. Instead, they advocate for learning how to speak to the disease of addiction with unity, boundaries, and often silence. The episode is filled with practical tips and heartfelt advice aimed at helping families find peace and effectiveness in their support roles. So if you're tired of feeling like you're losing control, this episode might just offer the fresh perspective you need.
