A good number of people with active addiction are unfortunately in a lot of pain during the months of January and February.

As a loved one, should you just watch them succumb to their addictions? Is there something that you can do to solve the problem?

For today’s episode, Chris and Danny talk about the various misconceptions that society and families have about helping people with addictions. These misconceptions can lead to addiction getting worse, in families' homes and for society as a whole.

They also discuss how to help an addicted loved one, including professional interventions, attending support groups, and modeling recovery. They emphasize the importance of external constraints to help keep an addict on the straight and narrow and to help them realize the value of sobriety.
