Family Ties and Trials: Navigating Substance Use Together

They're not able to see it from that perspective because they're in their own stuff. And they're still communicating, they're talking on the phone and whatnot, not for very long periods of time, not to really get into anything, but the families are actually able to see what their life is like without this much involvement.
Ever felt the ripple effects of a loved one's substance use or mental health struggles? In this eye-opening episode of 'The Recovery Mile', hosts Tommy Morris and Dixie Lewis shine a light on the often-overlooked impact these issues have on families. Drawing from both their professional backgrounds and personal experiences, they explore how families grapple with the chaos and pain that addiction and mental health challenges bring into their lives. But it's not all doom and gloom.
Tommy and Dixie offer practical advice on fostering communication, seeking therapy, and finding support systems that work. They stress the importance of self-reflection and breaking negative cycles to build healthier, more resilient family dynamics. Whether you're directly affected or trying to support someone who is, this episode offers a compassionate and insightful look at the journey towards healing. Tune in for real stories, expert tips, and a dose of hope.
