In the latest episode of the Secret Life Podcast, host Brianne Davis-Gantt pulls back the curtain on the complex web of addiction, revealing how it affects not just the individual, but the entire family system. Addiction doesn't happen in a vacuum. The roles each family member plays can contribute to the creation and perpetuation of addictive behaviors. Whether it's enabling, codependency, or emotional incest, these dynamics can create a breeding ground for addiction. Brianne, with her years of experience in recovery and therapy, explains that healing must involve the entire family. It's about peeling back the layers and addressing the generational trauma that often lies at the root of addiction. The episode delves into the uncomfortable truth that many families face: the addict is often a symptom of a larger dysfunction within the family.

It's not just about getting the addict sober; it's about rewiring the entire family system to support recovery and growth.
