245 - Loved ones: You are not helping.... Jan 08, 2023

Show notes

In this episode Ben and I have a discussion around parents and loved ones of people trying to get clean and sober. There are times when they think that they are helping when in fact all they are doing is hurting. If parents and loved ones were able to just step back and leave things up to the professionals then it would make the situations a lot easier! It is very easy for people to get caught up in their emotions and think that they are doing good, when in fact they are not!
