Taking care of an addict is like being on a plane and the oxygen masks drop down. You have to take care of yourself first before you can help someone else.
Ever thought addiction was just the addict's problem? Think again. This episode of 'Busting Addiction and Its Myths' sheds light on the often-overlooked impact of addiction on families, particularly focusing on codependency. The hosts dive into the crucial differences between helping someone and losing yourself in their struggles. They emphasize that addiction is a family illness, debunking the myth that everything would be perfect if only the addict stopped using.
Melanie Beatty, a renowned expert on codependency, joins the conversation to share her wisdom on setting boundaries and prioritizing self-care. She likens it to the airplane oxygen mask rule: you have to take care of yourself first before you can help others. The episode offers practical advice on recognizing codependent behaviors, dealing with feelings of shame and guilt, and finding support through groups like Al-Anon and ACOA.
It's a must-listen for anyone affected by addiction, providing hope and actionable steps towards a healthier family dynamic.
