608: The Framework Every Family With an Addict Needs to Hear
<p>Do you have a family member/loved one struggling with addiction?</p> <p>Join Our FREE WEBCLASS! <a href= "https://familyreconnectprogram.com/optin-page">https://familyreconnectprogram.com/optin-page</a></p> <p>Do you have a family member/loved one struggling with addiction? Schedule a FREE consultation call! <a href= "https://calendly.com/realrecoverytalk/free-consultation-with-real-recovery-talk-team"> https://calendly.com/realrecoverytalk/free-consultation-with-real-recovery-talk-team</a></p> <p>If you have a loved one struggling with addiction, you've probably tried everything. You've pleaded. You've set ultimatums. You've researched treatment centers at 2am. And nothing seems to actually move the needle. In this episode, Tom and Ben break down a simple, 5-part framework — one originally used in the business world — that gives family members a clear, practical way to evaluate every decision, request, and boundary that comes up when a loved one is struggling with addiction. What you'll learn in this episode: How to tell the difference between a reasonable request and one that's setting you up for failure Why "I need you to go to treatment" isn't enough — and what to say instead How to set goals for your loved one's recovery that are actually measurable Why belief matters more than you think — and how to find it again after years of disappointment How to know if what you're asking for is actually achievable right now Why bypassing levels of care almost never works, and what that means for your loved one's recovery This framework won't fix everything overnight. But it will give you clarity in a situation that's felt impossible to navigate.</p> <p> </p> <p>Want continued support/guidence for you and your loved one?

<p>Do you have a family member/loved one struggling with addiction?</p> <p>Join Our FREE WEBCLASS! <a href= "https://familyreconnectprogram.com/optin-page">https://familyreconnectprogram.com/optin-page</a></p> <p>Kratom is being sold at every gas station and vape shop in America. People are ending up in comas. People are dying. And nobody is officially tracking it. In this episode, Tom, Ben, and Destiny break down three of the biggest issues hitting the addiction and recovery world right now — and what families and loved ones need to know.</p> <p>What's covered in this episode: Why Kratom 70x extract is sending people to the hospital and killing them Why law enforcement knows it's illegal and isn't doing anything about it Why Kratom withdrawal is being described as worse than heroin and fentanyl Why overdose deaths from opiates are declining — and what's really behind it The dangerous rise of performance-enhancing drugs among young people Why so many addicts are being misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder and ADHD What happens when you put someone on psych meds without testing for drug use first Why 24/7 eyes on a client beats a 30-minute psychiatrist appointment every time If your loved one is struggling with addiction and you don't know where to turn, this episode is for you.</p> <p>Want continued support/guidence for you and your loved one?
