Ever been stuck in a cycle of manipulation and guilt when dealing with a loved one's addiction? Let's blow the lid off of that with our latest episode of The Party Wreckers podcast. Co-hosts Matt Brown and Sam Davis dissect the well-worn concept of getting your loved ones to admit their addiction and change the narrative. It's not about admitting powerlessness but focusing on the difference your family can make. Intervention shouldn't be a courtroom drama where you bombard them with evidence of addiction, but be a supportive space where the family outlines what they can and cannot do to assist.

Now, let's tackle another elephant in the room - the guilt of setting boundaries with your addicted loved one. Sounds familiar? We'll tell you why it's a game of manipulation and how the elusive question of 'Why?' can become a powerful tool to break it down. It's not enough to want recovery; you have to be willing to take the steps, and we'll show you how this small shift in perspective can lead to massive changes like opting for sobriety. And as we tie up this insightful episode, we share the importance of not enabling addiction, the terrible fallout of doing so, and where you can find support resources for your loved ones. So, sit back, listen, learn, and let's shift the narrative on addiction and recovery together.
