Is Addiction a Family Disease?
Here's one you can show the family! No one wants to talk about the role family plays in addiction, they just put it all on the addict. This video will help break the stigma tied to families "talking about their role" in all this. If you have a family member that doesn't seem to understand their role in your addiction or worse, they feel like they had nothing to do with it, SHOW THEM THIS VIDEO! This is Part 2 of Seeing Others in their Mess. I'm joined by my special guest (and cousin) Tonia Spaulding (a Licensed Professional Counselor) to help shed some light on understanding the family dynamics tied to a loved one's addiction. For family members that thought they understood why you use, this video offers advice on how to unify the family to help meet that loved one's needs. Watch this video (together) and start a family conversation.
FAMILY - Everyone can use some support! There are groups out there to help you gain some understanding throughout this journey.
Al-Anon is for family members like you who are worried about a loved one experiencing addiction.
