"It's not the addiction that impacts us. It's not the substances that impact us. It's the actual behaviours."
In this episode of 'Till The Wheels Fall Off', hosts Matt and Paige Robinson tackle the tricky topic of separating behaviours from addiction. The duo brings their extensive experience in addiction recovery and mental health to the table, offering a unique perspective that is both relatable and insightful.
They dive into questions like, 'How much should you focus on the substance?' and 'Is it easier to forgive someone's bad behaviour because they're addicted?' These are tough questions, but Matt and Paige handle them with grace and honesty, making it clear that the real issue often lies in the behaviours rather than the substances themselves. Paige passionately argues that it's healthy to set boundaries and not tolerate unacceptable behaviour, regardless of the addiction.
She shares personal anecdotes about how her partner's actions affected her and why it's crucial to address these behaviours for the sake of personal well-being and healthy relationships. Matt chimes in with his own experiences, highlighting the importance of challenging previously held beliefs and doing the necessary work to change harmful behaviours. This episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling with addiction or living with someone who is.
It offers practical advice and emotional support, reminding you that it's okay to prioritise your own needs and set boundaries. So, if you're looking for some honest, heartfelt discussion on addiction and behaviour, this episode is definitely worth your time.
