It's not just about being on the other end of the phone. You can't have anybody do anything you're not going to do yourself- and second is to set very healthy boundaries and stick to them and be able to recognize where you're able to help and where you may hurt, and allow the people that are around you- professionals or whatnot- do what they need to do for yourself or your family members.
Addiction isn't just a solitary battle; it ripples through the lives of everyone close to the person struggling. In this eye-opening episode of The Banyan Podcast, hosts Richard Mayora and Jason Sheppard dive into the profound impact that drug and alcohol addiction has on family members. While the focus often lands on the individual battling addiction, it's crucial to shine a light on those who stand by them—the family and friends who watch their loved ones change before their eyes.
This episode uncovers the emotional and psychological toll on families, emphasizing the importance of setting healthy boundaries and recognizing codependency traps. Mayora and Sheppard share practical advice on maintaining relationships and supporting a loved one without losing oneself in the process. They stress that understanding one's role in the recovery journey can make a world of difference, both for the person struggling with addiction and their support network.
The conversation also delves into the complexities of communication and the necessity of professional help in navigating these challenging waters. If you or someone you know is grappling with addiction, this episode offers a compassionate look at how families can find strength and resilience together.
