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.
Welcome back to Busting Addiction and Its Myths. This is episode 9 of Season 3. In this article, we are guided by Tony Z., a young recovering addict who has inspired and helped many a younger person new to the process.
Everything that we learn from Tony’s experience at getting and staying clean and sober is 100% corroborated by best recovery practices. What follows is a narrative about What It Takes to Make It. The first “It” refers to the effort and the steps that one needs to take without fail in order to get to the next “It” which defines the goal: a worthy and productive life liberated from the obsessive compulsion to abuse drugs and alcohol, and therefore free of its negative consequences, from jail to divorce and all things in between.
Consider this my edited version of what Tony believes to be the truth as you he has experienced for himself, what he saw happen to those who failed to do the work.
