What we are taught in recovery is that one of the key signs of addiction is the increasing tendency to withdraw from the normal activities of life and to isolate from the family. This happens because of shame and fear of being found out.
Feeling alone can be more than just a passing mood for those grappling with addiction. In this compelling episode of 'Busting Addiction and Its Myths', Bruno Jr. dives into how isolation plays a deadly role in addictive behaviors. Sponsored by SafeHouse Rehab Thailand, this episode unpacks the double-edged sword of solitude and addiction, especially heightened by the pandemic. Rising unemployment and social distancing have only worsened the isolation that many addicts face, pushing them deeper into their struggles.
But there's hope. Bruno Jr. shares how breaking free from isolation is vital for recovery. From attending 12-step meetings to sharing secrets with a sponsor, the episode highlights practical steps to foster connection and belonging. By being of service to others and finding community, those in recovery can combat the loneliness that fuels addiction. This episode isn't just about exposing the problem; it's about offering tangible solutions to build a supportive network and reclaim one's life from addiction's grip.
