You have a right to recovery, regardless of your loved one’s recovery status.
When you're deeply involved in helping a loved one battle addiction, it's easy to forget about your own well-being. In this episode of 'The Most Important Work', Dr. Jessica Black sits down with addiction expert Dr. Dennis Daley to discuss why focusing on your own recovery is crucial. Dr. Daley sheds light on the common tendency to neglect personal mental and physical health while supporting someone else's journey to sobriety.
He argues that self-care is not only vital for your own health but also beneficial for the entire family, including children who are often affected by a parent's addiction, even if they appear to be coping well. Dr. Daley also highlights the glaring lack of support programs tailored for families dealing with addiction, particularly those with children. He explores different recovery pathways and emphasizes the need for more resources to help families who have lost a loved one to addiction.
This episode offers invaluable advice and resources for anyone navigating the challenging landscape of addiction within their family.
