Addiction is a family condition. It doesn’t happen in a vacuum, we don’t recover from it in a vacuum, so the more we can better educate and assist the people who are the closest to the addiction - i.e. the more people that understand the dynamics of what's actually happening -  the better chance the addicted person has at eventually finding sustainable recovery.

Dealing with loved ones/ family members/friends with addictions is incredibly challenging. There are a lot of dynamics at play. It can be frustrating and emotionally painful

Episode 12 is the first of a 2-part series about navigating some of the emotional challenges of living with and trying to help a close loved one who's suffering with an active addiction and some of the common pitfalls people fall into that tend to inadvertently worsen the situation.

Part 2 of the series should be released early next week.
