Busting Addiction and Its Myths
The purpose of our podcast is to help families learn the truth about addiction and alcoholism so that they can take the right action to help the addict they love and to help themselves at this critical time in their lives. Exposing the truth about addiction and alcoholism also requires that we bust the myths surrounding both addiction/alcoholism and the recovery process.

In this podcast, we discuss new ways of thinking and behavior that help with moving the alcoholic/addict toward treatment.
We learn that:
- Family members need to unlearn their conditioned way of reacting to their beloved alcoholic or addict.
- The new way asks the family member to take a softer approach which will disarm the conflict.
- The approach is called CRAFT – Community Reinforcement and Family Training which has seen a high success rate when it’s followed through.
- It’s recommended that attending Al-Anon meetings become part of the process toward intervention and recovery.
