If I think about the disease of addiction as an entity that has its own voice and its own agenda, that actually helps me have more compassion for my daughter, it makes sense to me that the voice of my daughter's disease might tell her lies like: I know how mad you are at them, but remember that a little bump of cocaine will take all that anger away, or they don't really love you anyway.
What if you could see addiction as something separate from your child, almost like a force with its own voice and agenda? In this episode of 'A Dose of Hope', Linda Blair dives into this intriguing perspective, comparing addiction to demonic possession. By viewing addiction as an external entity, parents might find it easier to redirect their anger away from their child and towards the disease itself.
This shift in perspective can open the door to greater compassion and hope for recovery. Blair also stresses the importance of finding support and resources, highlighting ParentingThroughAddiction.com as a valuable tool for parents on this challenging journey. Whether your child is in the throes of addiction or you're seeking to understand this complex issue better, this episode offers practical advice and emotional support to help you navigate these turbulent waters.
