Finding Support: A Lifeline for Families Facing Addiction
The one thing that I understand as an alcoholic is: I stay sober when I help you.
Imagine feeling completely overwhelmed as a family member struggles with addiction or alcoholism. Tony and Bruno J. from SafeHouse Rehab Thailand are here to offer a beacon of hope. In this episode, they discuss practical steps families can take to find the support they need. They emphasize the importance of education—understanding that addiction is a disease changes everything. Once families grasp this, they can shift their mindset and approach the situation more effectively.
The duo highlights how essential it is to recognize that you can't change the addicted person, but you can change how you respond to them. This realization helps families detach healthily and focus on their own well-being. Tony and Bruno also talk about the invaluable support systems available, such as AA and Al-Anon, which provide communities of people who truly understand what you're going through. These networks offer not just guidance but also a sense of belonging and spiritual fulfillment.
By sharing experiences and supporting each other, families can navigate these challenging times more effectively. This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice and emotional support, making it a must-listen for anyone dealing with addiction in their family.
