Codependency is just as big as an addiction and an obsession as the alcoholic addict, sex addict, whatever, and I think, as members of the church, Jesus Christ Latter-Day saints, we don't understand that.
What happens when addiction impacts not just the individual but their closest relationships too? In this episode of 'The Next Step Podcast', hosts Jay and Brad bring together a group of spouses of addicts, both in recovery and still struggling, for a candid round table discussion. They dive into the often-overlooked issue of codependency, revealing how it can be as gripping as the addiction itself.
The conversation touches on the significance of the 12 steps in the recovery journey, the different faces of addiction, and the heavy burden of shame that accompanies it. You'll hear about the courage it takes to break anonymity in recovery and why understanding addiction and codependency as intertwined issues is crucial. This episode offers a heartfelt look at the struggles faced by those living with addicts and highlights the power of community support in overcoming these challenges.
Whether you're directly affected by addiction or seeking to understand it better, this episode provides valuable insights and compassionate perspectives.
