Busting Addiction and Its Myths
The purpose of our 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.
Does Addiction Hide in Your Wallet?
Season 3 – Episode 12
I’ve mentioned before that addiction comes in a hundred forms, and in a previous episode, I spoke of the idea that people often do not realize that they are addicted until they are in such pain that they are compelled to find its source.
More often than not, and by that, I mean more than half the time, there is financial chaos at home when the home also includes an alcoholic or addict, whether the addict is the head of the household or not.
Think about it. How could there not be financial chaos if the family dynamic is based on co-dependent thinking, such as denial, mistrust, fear, resentment, lying, and occasionally, abuse and violence?
How does this show up? It invariably shows up as unrestrained spending and debts.
