The problem of addiction grows worse and the helping resources have dwindled. But addiction has to take its rightful place among the treatable diseases or we're really in trouble.
Ever felt overwhelmed by the complexities of addiction? Kal Rissman’s 'Hope for Recovery' podcast is here to help. In this episode, Kal reviews the second half of the material covered in the first 25 episodes, aiming to simplify the often confusing world of addiction and recovery. Kal dives into the differences between dependence and codependence, shedding light on how these issues impact not just the individual but their entire family.
Imagine growing up thinking your chaotic home life was normal, only to find out it was far from healthy. That’s the reality for many adult children of addicts, and Kal tackles this with empathy and clarity. Kal also outlines five key areas to watch for when diagnosing substance abuse: relationships, tolerance, relief use, blackouts, and preoccupation with using. These signs can be crucial in identifying a problem early on.
He doesn’t stop there; Kal discusses legal interventions and the roles of employers and parents in prevention and support. It’s a call to action for parents to educate their kids about addiction and share their genetic background to help them avoid similar pitfalls. The episode underscores that addiction is a treatable disease and emphasizes the importance of available resources for recovery.
Whether you’re struggling with addiction yourself or trying to support a loved one, this episode offers invaluable insights and practical advice. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of addiction and discover actionable strategies for recovery.
