The holidays become an opportunity to just continue the same pattern you know, and to allow continued unhealthy behavior in the family system- and the families are contributing as much as the active person is. But what you're saying is, is so true?
The holiday season is a time of joy, but for families dealing with addiction, it can also be incredibly challenging. The pressure to maintain a 'normal' holiday often leads to enabling behaviors that can have serious, even deadly, consequences. In this episode of Addiction 911, Robin Guterman, a seasoned licensed clinical social worker from F.A.R. of Boca, shares her wisdom on navigating these difficult times without compromising your loved one's recovery or your own mental health.
Robin dives into practical tips for setting firm boundaries and resisting the urge to give in to an addict's demands. She emphasizes the importance of consistency and small, manageable steps in changing the family dynamic for the better. This episode is packed with actionable advice for anyone struggling to balance the holiday spirit with the harsh realities of addiction.
By implementing these strategies, families can create a healthier environment and reduce the risk of overdoses and suicides that spike during this emotionally charged season. Tune in to gain valuable insights and find hope in managing this delicate balance.
