What if the stories we’ve been told about addiction recovery, rock bottom, tough love, they have to want it themselves... are only half the truth?
In this episode, Amanda sits down with Conrad Tracey, founder of Addiction Coaching Australia, to unpack the outdated myths that keep people stuck, and reveal what real, sustainable recovery actually looks like.
Together they explore the messy middle of change, the space between crisis and consistency, and how both the person struggling and their loved ones can find steadier ground through boundaries, compassion, and evidence-based support.
You’ll learn:
Why waiting for rock bottom can be dangerous and what to do instead.
The difference between helping and enabling (and why it matters).
How relapse fits into recovery without meaning “back to day one.”
What real accountability looks like without shame or control.
How small, consistent actions create lasting transformation.
This episode is for you if:
You love someone navigating addiction or early recovery.
You’re a high-functioning person quietly struggling yourself.
You’re tired of outdated advice and want tools that actually work.
