"You're going to ask me for my help, I'm going to give you my help. And that can be very difficult to do for me."
How do you help someone who needs it but doesn’t want it? This question is a frequent flyer in the world of addiction recovery, and Nate and Tommy from 'Bare Knuckle Recovery' tackle it head-on in this episode. Drawing from their own experiences and those of the people they've helped, they dive into the tough realities of trying to support someone who’s not ready to accept it.
They offer practical advice on setting boundaries and expressing your feelings without pushing too hard. It's a delicate balance, and they know it well. They also discuss the importance of finding the right resources and support systems, highlighting how crucial it is to be informed about treatment options. Location can play a big role too; sometimes, a change of scenery can make all the difference.
The hosts also touch on the internal work necessary for recovery, emphasizing that without a willingness to change from within, external help can only go so far. If you're at your wit's end trying to help a loved one who’s resistant to change, this episode is packed with insights and practical tips to guide you through this challenging journey.
