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.

Q&A About AA

Season 2 – Episode 07 – Part 1

This article which we’ll call Q&A about AA, we will share some truths and bust some myths about Alcoholics Anonymous so that those who love an addict or an alcoholic are better equipped to make decisions that will help the family understand what AA promises, what it does and what it cannot and should not do.

First, we need to dispel some myths. The word anonymous is not about secrecy, it’s about privacy, because back in the day, and even today, alcoholics have needed a safe place where they can share their stories without fearing that they will be outed and have it cause damage to their relationships, careers or standing in their communities. Fact is, there is still a stigma associated with having this disorder, sad to say.
