RE: How does one deal with/accept a loved one who displays self-destructive behaviors? [Dabbing with a Mage episode 181]
A deep topic to be covering! never really dealt with partners addiction had my own though and it was very hard to overcome. But I have not taken drugs in over ten years well the odd dabble but can count those on my fingers.
Although had a friend who I have recently help through alcoholism. I was able to tell him in appropriate way I feel. We have been friends for years and he finally asked me for help, thankfully he is recovering well and rebuilding his life which is so amazing to see, in just a few months. Working in mental health I come across addictions every day and is very hard not to talk about my experience but feel I have a good approach 💯🐒
I’m glad to Hear that you were able to help your friend out when he came to you and need. It’s often difficult for people with addictions and or self-destructive behaviors to ask for help from the ones that we care for.
With your background and addiction help, perhaps maybe you should answer this question as well. It would be nice to see what you think about this question.
Also, great to see you!
