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 the power of toxic shame and its effect on the children in the family, including an addict or alcoholic.
We learn that:
- Shame is known as a master emotion, overpowering ordinary, healthy feelings such as sadness or joy.
- Toxic shame is a debilitating feeling of worthlessness and self-loathing that can last a lifetime.
- There are multiple causes of it, mostly inflicted by parents onto their children.
- People who experience toxic shame often have difficulty knowing what they are truly feeling and require help in identifying and expressing what they feel.
