United We Stand: Navigating Family Unity in Addiction Recovery

Not holding everything against each other, not always having to be right or a right fighter, and making decisions based on logic and loyalty to the truth versus loyalty to feelings or just to a person, I think that blocks division and that in turn blocks manipulation.
What happens when a family faces the storm of addiction? In this episode of 'Coming Up for Air', hosts Laurie MacDougall and Annie Highwater bring a unique perspective by inviting Laurie's husband Trevor and Annie's ex-husband Elliot Sr. to the conversation. They dive into the complexities of maintaining unity during crises and making critical decisions together.
This isn't just about addiction; it's about the dynamics of blended families, the challenges of exposing siblings to risky behaviors, and the intrusions that can disrupt harmony. Through candid discussions, they reveal how division can lead to manipulation, and why it's crucial to stay united. They share personal stories of overcoming division and emphasize making decisions based on logic and truth rather than emotions or loyalty to individuals.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone dealing with addiction within their family, offering practical advice on how to work together and prevent manipulation. Tune in for heartfelt insights and strategies that can help your family navigate these turbulent waters.
