The addict is a genius at putting up a normal-looking front in order to deceive his loved ones that he is OK.
Ever wondered how an addict can appear so normal while their life is spiraling out of control? This episode of 'Busting Addiction and Its Myths' dives into the deceptive facade that addicts and alcoholics often present to their loved ones. Hosted by Bruno J, the episode recounts a wild night out, vividly illustrating the extreme risks an addict might take, risks they would never consider when sober.
It's a gripping story that sheds light on the double life many addicts lead, masked by a seemingly normal exterior. The episode reveals how even professionals can be fooled, sometimes labeling an addict as a 'high-functioning alcoholic'. But behind this mask, the addict is often insecure, anxious, depressed, and unstable. Their life revolves around chasing the next high, and their loved ones are usually in the dark about the true extent of their struggles.
Bruno J emphasizes the importance of educating families about the realities of addiction and alcoholism. Dispelling myths and understanding the truth is crucial for supporting recovery. As one listener put it, 'This episode was raw and informative. It made me realize how little I knew about addiction and the importance of understanding it.' Tune in to uncover the hidden struggles behind the mask of addiction and learn how you can make a difference in your loved one's recovery journey.
