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.

How Can the Power of Now Heal the Pain?

Season 2 – Episode 02

Let’s approach the issue of addiction and what it does to an ordinary family, a loving, typical well-meaning and yes educated and even affluent family – let’s approach the issue from a completely different angle and see if there’s healing to be had there.

Let me start with this idea: that most families who have never had addiction strike the family have no idea how much pain addiction can inflict the mom and dad, sisters, brothers, husbands or wives – I call them out individually because each person experiences the pain of addiction uniquely unto themselves. Make no mistake: addiction and alcoholism are recognized by all professionals as family diseases. Which means there is no escaping the effects of this disorder, there is no escaping the pain that this disease inflicts on each individual in an individual way.
