EP 99: How to Support an Addict Without Losing Yourself: The Truth About Self-Care

Are you sacrificing your own well-being in a desperate attempt to help someone you love?

Many parents caught in the chaos of a loved one's addiction unknowingly neglect self-care—even when they understand its value. This episode dives deep into why we often avoid the very things that could help us cope, and how that avoidance might reveal more than we’re ready to admit.

  • Discover the hidden emotional barriers that keep you from practicing self-care—even when you know it’s essential.
  • Hear powerful insights about how over-involvement can become an addiction in itself, masking deeper issues.
  • Learn why true influence starts with being a calm, healthy role model—and how prioritising yourself helps everyone you love.

If you're feeling overwhelmed and stuck in survival mode, press play now to uncover how real self-care could be the most powerful step forward for you and your family.

This podcast provides practical guidance and support for families navigating the challenges of substance abuse disorder, offering insights from addiction recovery experts, family therapy, and support groups like Al-Anon and Family Drug Support, with a focus on understanding how to help and support loved ones dealing with addiction, including heroin addiction, through counselling and treatment options.

DISCLAIMER

Every family is different — if you’re supporting someone through addiction, please make decisions that are right for you, ideally in consultation with qualified professionals and appropriate support networks.
