If you accept the idea that they're in the grip of a potentially fatal disease that compels them to do things that, had they retained the power of choice, they would never, in A Million Years, even contemplate doing what they end up doing.
Have you ever felt completely baffled by the actions of a loved one struggling with addiction? This episode of 'Busting Addiction and Its Myths' sheds light on the overwhelming power that addiction holds over individuals. Host Bruno J takes you on a journey to understand why addiction isn't just a series of bad choices but a formidable disease that hijacks one's life.
You'll learn how an untreated addict's existence revolves around getting high or drunk, often at the expense of their morals and relationships. The episode explains how the addict's behavior isn't about hurting you but is driven by an insatiable need to feed their addiction. Think of it like being starved; in that state, you'd do almost anything for food.
The same goes for addicts, who act without considering the consequences, not because they don't care, but because their addiction blinds them to everything else. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the dynamics of addiction and its impact on families. It emphasizes compassion and understanding as crucial elements in dealing with this complex issue.
By debunking common myths and providing real-life insights, Bruno J offers valuable guidance for those looking to support their loved ones through recovery.
