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.

Help is just Around the Corner

Season 6 – Episode 11

Welcome to our latest season of Busting Addiction and Its Myths. This is Episode #11 of Season Six.

In this conversation between Tony and Bruno J., they discuss what a family can do to get the help they need when they are faced with addiction and/or alcoholism in their family, whether their loved one is living under the same roof or not.

Bruno J. goes on to talk about co-dependency and what he has learned about helping others on his 27-year journey on the enlightened side of the street.

Tony: ” What is the absolute first thing a caring family member should the moment she (say it’s mom) realizes she has an addiction problem on her hands”?

Bruno J.: “I cannot understate the value of education in the early going for a family who has discovered or concluded that their loved one needs help.

In some cases, it takes years for a family to wake up to reality, as they may initially deny that there even is a problem, as in ‘not in our family’.
