The whole family becomes sick as a consequence of alcoholism or drug addiction striking any one individual in the family
Why does addiction ripple through the entire family? This episode of 'Busting Addiction and Its Myths' tackles this tough question head-on. Hosted by SafeHouse Rehab Thailand, the episode dives into how addiction impacts not just the individual but everyone around them. When one person in a family suffers from alcoholism or drug addiction, it often leads to a cascade of emotional and psychological issues for all family members.
The episode explores how family members frequently carry shame and guilt, initially denying the problem and then trying to control what can't be controlled. They may lie to neighbours, cast blame, and create unhealthy co-dependencies. Particularly poignant is the focus on how mothers or wives often bear the brunt of this burden, trying to manage a disorder that is inherently unmanageable.
This episode offers valuable insights into why addiction is considered a family disease and highlights the importance of seeking help not just for the addict but for the entire family unit. With real-life anecdotes and expert advice, you'll find this episode both enlightening and relatable. Don't miss out on this crucial discussion—tune in to understand better and support your loved ones.
