Family Matters: Navigating Addiction Together

The family is as negatively affected by the addiction as the addicted loved one... So what we would encourage families to do instead is stop any type of support if your loved one is active in their addiction and direct that energy into getting them into treatment, into getting some help.
Addiction doesn't just affect the individual; it ripples through families, leaving a trail of worry and heartache. In this episode of 'Hooked', Anna Fenton sheds light on how addiction impacts loved ones and the crucial steps to recognize and address it. It's a powerful reminder that while addiction can isolate, it also binds families in unexpected ways. Anna dives into the importance of getting help—not just for the person battling addiction but for their entire support system.
She brings attention to Al-Anon, a lifeline for many families, offering shared experiences and group support that can make all the difference. If you or someone close to you is struggling, this episode offers a compassionate guide to understanding and supporting recovery.
