Co-dependency is revealed and amplified in families who have an addict in their midst, and it results in much irrational behaviour. Co-dependency shows up as obsessive thinking and controlling behaviour.
Have you ever felt like you're losing yourself while trying to save someone else? This episode of 'Busting Addiction and Its Myths' dives into the often-overlooked issue of co-dependency among those who love addicts. Bruno J explores how being close to someone struggling with addiction can make you feel just as powerless and trapped as they are.
He breaks down the irrational behaviors that emerge, like obsessive thinking and controlling actions, all driven by the hope that you can somehow change the addict's ways. Spoiler: You can't. But there's hope. Bruno shares his personal journey through the Al-Anon program, which helped him regain his sanity and focus on his own well-being. This episode is a must-listen for anyone caught in the web of addiction, whether directly or indirectly.
It offers practical advice and emotional support, emphasizing that both addicts and their loved ones can find a path to recovery. So, if you're feeling overwhelmed by someone else's addiction, tune in to learn how to break free from the cycle and reclaim your life.
