I think for all of us and for folks that we work with, you know it's recognizing. Yes, I need relief from this overwhelming, you know, desire to engage in this behavior that I don't actually want to engage in, but my body is driving me towards it. But then, once I get sober for a minute, I realize there's other issues there as well.
Addiction isn't just a personal battle; it can leave lasting marks on families and communities. In this episode of 'Relational Recovery', hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill dive into the generational impact of addiction. They explore how addiction often stems from deeper issues like trauma and pain, affecting not just the individual but also those around them.
Wes and Austin shed light on how these patterns can be broken, emphasizing that recovery is a lifelong journey requiring dedication and hard work. But it's not all heavy - they also share stories of hope and resilience, showing that change is possible. One of the key takeaways from their discussion is the importance of taking ownership in the recovery process. Recognizing there's a problem and being willing to work on oneself is crucial for long-term success.
