An addiction is a relationship. And really it becomes so dominant that the relationship that someone will have with their drug becomes the means to have relationships with other people.
What happens when childhood trauma intertwines with addiction? Mark Kelly and Skip Mozisek tackle this tough question in this episode of 'The 14th Step'. They dive deep into how early traumatic experiences can drive individuals towards substance abuse, seeking solace in drugs or alcohol when human connections fail to provide comfort. Addiction, in this context, becomes more than just a habit—it turns into a substitute for real relationships, creating a cycle that's hard to break. But there’s hope.
Mark and Skip explore the power of empathy in the recovery process. They discuss how reconnecting with others and shifting focus from oneself to helping others can pave the way to healing. This episode isn’t just about identifying problems; it’s about finding solutions through understanding and compassion. If you're curious about how empathy can transform the recovery journey or looking for ways to support someone battling addiction, this episode offers valuable insights.
Whether you’re dealing with addiction yourself, supporting a loved one, or just interested in the dynamics of trauma and recovery, Mark and Skip’s conversation is both enlightening and heartwarming. Their blend of professional expertise and personal stories makes complex topics accessible, offering a beacon of hope for anyone touched by addiction.
