Do not fight your loved one's battles for them when they're getting clean and sober.
Tom Conrad, host of 'Real Recovery Talk', tackles a tough yet crucial topic in this episode: the delicate balance of supporting a loved one in recovery without taking over their battles. Often, the instinct to shield someone from pain can be overwhelming, but Tom argues that stepping back is sometimes the best way to help. Drawing from his own journey, he shares why it's vital for those in recovery to confront their own challenges and develop critical thinking skills.
By doing so, they gain the tools needed to navigate life sober. Tom emphasizes that enabling behaviors, like making all the phone calls or handling every crisis, can hinder real progress. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to support a loved one without crossing the line into enabling. It's filled with practical advice and personal anecdotes that make the complex process of recovery a bit clearer and more manageable.
