The Road To Recovery | Carson Lee Alexander-White

The Overcoming Odds Podcast

Your love for your father is strong, but he has disappointed you time and time again. He promised you that last week's drink was going to be the last one. There have been many “last ones.” Your best friend has slowly drifted down a rabbit hole of drug abuse and self harm. Despite your pleas for him to stop, he continues down this dark path. Your child has become hopelessly attached to their phone. They cannot for a waking moment put it down or interact in any other way. Their eyes are always reflecting back that dull blue light. It is a sad truth that many people may become addicted to a substance or item or know someone with an addiction. Interventions and acts of love may be used in speaking to one with an addiction, but the results may vary. Perhaps the only way to help, you believe, is to cut them off entirely. No contact until they change their ways. Perhaps, instead you feel that you must be there all the time and restrict their use through force or manipulation. Addiction is a complex issue with many facets that contribute to the addiction itself. There are also many tools that can help those that suffer from addictions. Join Carson Lee Alexander-White and Oleg, as they dive deep into personal addictions throughout their lives, ways they’ve been able to recover from them, and other related topics.
