An addict and alcoholic needs to have those consequences, and sometimes they're not self-inflicted necessarily where the people around you, since the disease, since it's a family disease of addiction and it affects everybody, they need to be the ones to set the boundaries to somewhat form those consequences.
Imagine trying to help someone you love who isn’t ready to accept your support. That’s exactly what Louis Iacona and Jim Grant dive into in this episode of the Recovery Media Podcast. They open up about their personal journeys, sharing how their families tackled the tough conversations around addiction. Louis paints a vivid picture of the uphill battle of recovery, not just from the addiction itself but from the accumulating consequences over time.
Both hosts reflect on the lessons they’ve learned, often only visible in hindsight, and how these experiences shaped their paths to sobriety. They also stress the crucial role of setting boundaries and implementing consequences—tasks that fall to those around the addict, rather than the addict themselves. This episode isn’t just about struggle; it’s about the hope that comes from understanding and support.
Louis and Jim also outline their vision for the podcast, aiming to reach out to as many people as possible with guidance, perspective, and a sense of connection. Whether you're grappling with addiction yourself or trying to support someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and a comforting reminder that you're not alone.
