Paige's Perspective - Substance or Not: Why Behavior Defines Your Relationship

Paige's Perspective - Substance or Not: Why Behavior Defines Your Relationship

Paige Robinson takes centre stage in this episode of 'Till The Wheels Fall Off', diving deep into the complexities of addiction and relationships. Paige challenges the common belief that sobriety alone can fix everything, arguing that it’s the behaviours—manipulation, dishonesty, emotional neglect—that truly define the health of a relationship. With a mix of personal anecdotes and practical advice, she encourages listeners to shift their focus from substances to behaviours.

Paige discusses how society tends to blame substances because they are tangible and easier to address, while harmful behaviours often go unnoticed. She emphasises that true recovery involves more than just abstinence; it requires emotional maturity, empathy, and accountability. Paige also provides reflection exercises to help you identify your core values and how they may be compromised in a relationship with someone struggling with addiction.

This episode is packed with valuable insights and exercises designed to help you reclaim your life and make decisions based on your values, not just your partner's sobriety. By the end, you'll feel more equipped to set healthy boundaries and focus on your own happiness and well-being. Tune in for an eye-opening discussion that goes beyond the surface of addiction and into the heart of what makes relationships truly healthy.
