We like to call it co-addiction, co-alcoholism, but it's all the same when you're caught up in someone's life to such an extent that your obsession about them clouds over any sense of self or ability to build a life for yourself, you need to look at that, yep, and I often see that they say addiction is a family disease, and it is very, very true.
Addiction doesn't just affect the individual; it ripples through the entire family. In this eye-opening episode of 'I Took the High Road', Jacob Jansen sits down with Beverly Buncher, the CEO of Family Recovery Resources, to explore the complex web of family dynamics in addiction. Beverly brings a wealth of knowledge, shedding light on how addiction is not just a personal battle but a family disease that requires collective healing.
Beverly dives into the importance of Al-Anon for families of addicts, emphasizing its role in filling gaps that traditional treatment programs might miss. She introduces the concepts of co-addiction and co-alcoholism, explaining how these conditions can entangle family members in the cycle of addiction. Through her compassionate lens, Beverly discusses the fine line between enabling and supporting a loved one, offering practical advice on how to approach these sensitive issues with love and gentleness.
Mindfulness and conscious breathing are highlighted as vital tools for families striving to maintain their sanity and sobriety amidst the chaos of addiction. Beverly also shares her thoughts on preparing for interventions, the power of vulnerability, and the right attitude for recovery. Her mission is clear: to guide families toward a path of sobriety and inner peace.
Listeners will walk away with a deeper understanding of how to detach from the emotional turmoil, make positive decisions, and support their loved ones without falling into enabling behaviors. Beverly's insights are not just theoretical; they are actionable steps that families can take to reclaim their lives and find joy again, regardless of their loved one's choices. Tune in to this episode to learn how families can heal together and blaze a trail toward sobriety.
