Busting Addiction and Its Myths

The purpose of Safehouse podcast is to help families learn the truth about addiction and alcoholism so that they can take the right action to help the addict they love and to help themselves at this critical time in their lives. Exposing the truth about addiction and alcoholism also requires that we bust the myths surrounding both addiction/alcoholism and the recovery process.

Twenty-nine things we’ve learned so far

Season 1 – Episode 12

I think it’s time we do a roll-up of what we’ve learned so far, as I see our podcast as a tutorial on addiction for families and anyone else who is close to an addict or alcoholic.

I’ve discovered over the course of the last 26 years of my clean and sober living career that the public is addicted to its own opinion about addiction and that stigma and ignorance are alive and well. So that’s why you’ll see my focus is on busting the myths associated with the disease of addiction and alcoholism, and I say that unless we smash these perceptual myths about the disorder, we will forever be fighting a losing battle

We will only start to win if we start thinking clearly.
