Imagine sitting down for a chat with friends who genuinely understand the complexities of addiction. That's exactly what you get with Mike and Glenn at the Sober.Coffee Shop. In this episode, they dive into the crucial topic of recognizing drug addiction in loved ones. While they're not clinical experts, their personal experiences offer a valuable perspective. Mike shares his own recovery journey, highlighting how prevalent drug addiction, especially to substances like Fentanyl and Opioids, has become in our communities.
The episode goes beyond just listing symptoms; it’s a heartfelt conversation about noticing behavioral changes such as sudden shifts in friendships, unusual body smells, and excessive talking or hyperactivity. But it’s not just about spotting the signs. Mike and Glenn emphasize the importance of focusing on your own well-being too. They discuss resources like Al-Anon and individual therapy, underscoring that while you can't fix someone else's addiction, you can find support for yourself.
They remind listeners that some symptoms, like depression, might not be related to drug use but should still be taken seriously. If you suspect a loved one is struggling with addiction, this episode offers practical advice and emotional support. Mike and Glenn's candid discussion makes it clear: you're not alone, and there are resources available to help both you and your loved one navigate this challenging journey.
