One of the things that happens is, or one of the things I say is that trying to understand insane behaviour is insanity itself. Put it on the shelf and recognize that this is what addicts do. They're sick people.
Ever found yourself puzzled by a loved one's erratic behavior and wondered, 'Why are they like this?' This episode of 'Busting Addiction and Its Myths' dives straight into that burning question. Hosted by Tony, the show aims to peel back the layers of misunderstanding surrounding addiction. Often, families attribute their loved one's actions to stress, job changes, or relationship issues, missing the core problem—addiction itself.
Tony explains how addiction can be a hidden beast, wreaking havoc before anyone even realizes it's there. He stresses that addiction is not a moral failing but a compulsive disease that needs proper treatment. By sharing real-life stories and expert opinions, this episode shines a light on the irrational and self-destructive behaviors that are often misinterpreted. Tony also discusses the harmful effects of shame and denial, which can prevent families from seeking the help they desperately need.
If you're grappling with confusion and anxiety over a loved one's addiction, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice on recognizing the signs and taking action. Tune in for an eye-opening discussion that could be the first step toward healing for you and your family.
