Know that self-care does not equal selfish, because so many loved ones don't take care of themselves and they think, especially if they have an addict in their lives and they're catering to the addict and everything is about the addict and they just want to help the addict, which is understandable.
What happens when loving someone means watching them struggle with addiction? In this episode of 'Coming Clean Radio', Katherine Arati Maas sits down with Candace Plattor, a Registered Clinical Counselor, to explore the intricate dynamics of loving an addict and finding recovery paths beyond the traditional 12-step approach.
Candace, author of 'Loving an Addict, Loving Yourself: The Top 10 Survival Tips for Loving Someone with an Addiction', brings her expertise to the table, offering a compassionate look at how loved ones can support addicts without losing themselves in the process. She highlights the often-overlooked struggles faced by those close to addicts, including enabling behaviors and the weight of codependency. Through her insights, Candace stresses that self-care isn't selfish but essential.
She encourages listeners to find their own interests and hobbies, emphasizing that a fulfilling life is possible even amidst the challenges of addiction. This episode sheds light on the importance of individualized recovery paths and offers hope for both addicts and their loved ones. Tune in for a heartfelt conversation that balances empathy with practical advice, making it a must-listen for anyone affected by addiction.
