“I know it’s a disease, but…”
…she drank again.
…he’s still lying.
…they just won’t stop.
Sound familiar?
Here’s the uncomfortable truth: Many of us say we understand addiction is a disease, but our actions tell a different story.
There’s often a gap between what we know intellectually about addiction and how we actually respond to our loved ones.
In order to make progress on the path to recovery, this gap must close.
Watch a sneak peek of the Stop the Chaos program
In this sample training pulled directly from Stop the Chaos, I walk you through a revealing exercise that exposes the deep-seated stigmas we might not even realize we’re carrying.
These hidden beliefs not only affect how we respond to our loved ones—they can actually be barriers.
And it isn’t just families that have them. Addicts do too. My own internal stigma around addiction was part of what prevented me from accepting my own alcoholism.
Watch the video to dive in with me.
