It's the addict's responsibility, yes, the alcoholic's responsibility, to take care of themselves, because we all had crap happen to us when we were exactly exactly.
Ever wondered where the line between helping and enabling lies? In this episode of 'Chasing Heroine', Jeannine and Kim sit down with Jeannine's mom, Bonnie, who brings a wealth of experience as an MSW specializing in domestic violence and child abuse. Bonnie opens up about her personal journey through Jeannine's years of addiction, sharing the hard-earned wisdom she gained along the way.
She talks about the delicate balance of offering support without crossing into enabling, a challenge many families face but rarely discuss openly. Bonnie also highlights the importance of self-care and compassion, not just for the addict but for their loved ones too. Her candid conversation touches on harm reduction strategies and the cyclical nature of recovery programs, providing a treasure trove of insights for anyone touched by addiction.
This episode is a heartfelt exploration of family dynamics, personal resilience, and the ongoing struggle to find the right kind of support.
