Curious about how addiction behaviours impact relationships? Dive into this episode where Matt and Paige Robinson discuss the critical distinction between addiction and the behaviours it triggers. It's not just about the substance, but how the behaviours—like lying, manipulation, and anger—can erode trust and affect loved ones. The duo shares personal anecdotes and insights, challenging listeners to focus on behaviours rather than substances when addressing addiction.
They argue that while substances amplify negative behaviours, it's the behaviours themselves that cause harm. Matt and Paige offer practical advice on setting boundaries based on behaviours, advocating for a middle ground approach where compassion doesn't mean tolerating harmful actions. Their candid discussion is peppered with light-hearted banter, making this serious topic engaging and relatable.
