Addiction is not a phenomenon that happens only in response to drugs or alcohol. Addiction is a preoccupation that people develop with any activity or involvement, whether that's sex, gambling, gaming, social media, drugs, alcohol, pornography, or even love.
Parenting a child struggling with addiction can feel like walking a tightrope. In this episode of the LPP Podcast, Zach Rhoads shares thoughtful advice on how to navigate these challenging waters. Drawing from Dr. Stanton Peele's principles, Zach talks about the broader definition of addiction, which isn't limited to substances but also includes behaviors and activities that can be just as harmful.
He stresses the importance of viewing addiction not as a permanent, inescapable disease but as a condition that can be managed and overcome with the right support and strategies. Zach revisits Dr. Peele's 'helping professional's' Bill of Rights, which underscores the necessity of empathy, community support, and encouraging personal responsibility. This episode dives into practical approaches for parents to engage in open, non-judgmental conversations with their children about addiction.
You'll learn how to maintain your boundaries while fostering an environment of trust and understanding. Zach's insights offer a lifeline to parents seeking effective ways to support their children through the ups and downs of addiction. Whether you're a parent, guardian, or concerned loved one, this episode provides essential tools for collaborative problem-solving and building stronger family connections.
