Busting Addiction and Its Myths
The purpose of our podcast is to help families learn the truth about addiction and alcoholism so that they can take the right action to help the addict they love and to help themselves at this critical time in their lives. Exposing the truth about addiction and alcoholism also requires that we bust the myths surrounding both addiction/alcoholism and the recovery process.

In this podcast, we discuss the deadly consequences of addiction and alcoholism:
We learn that:
- Alcoholism and addiction are incurable and progressive, and often fatal if ignored.
- There is a serious undercounting of the societal costs in life and injury due to alcoholism, while there is better data on drug abuse effects.
- It is rare that an alcoholic or addict can successfully get and stay clean and sober on his or her own willpower alone.
- He or she needs to ask for and receive help from others committed to a recovery program.
