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.

Is My Teen Becoming an Addict?

Season 4 – Episode 10

I have learned from many parents of then-teenagers who went on to become full-blown addicts that they, the parents, wished they had recognized the signs of early addiction in their teenager so that they might have been able to arrest the development of the disease and save themselves the heartache that followed.

One or two signs does not a pattern make and can be often explained away as innocuous, but if you are watchful, you might be able to draw a picture of what your teen is actually up to behind the scenes. The sooner you can shine a light on it, the better are the chances of making a course-correction that might actually save your child’s life. –
