In this episode of the Therapy Shed podcast we are talking about Addictions. We discuss addictive behaviours, the role of addiction as a coping mechanism, and the impact addictions can have on the person and also their loved ones. We are fortunate to be joined by another great guest in this episode, "Graeme", to talk about Addictions and his work with Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Graeme kindly shares his story of addiction with alcoholism, supporting others accessing AA and also his experience of being in recovery. We discuss the value of accessing support, the emotional upheaval often involved with addiction, and the power of social stigma regarding Alcoholism in current society. As Graeme says "AA is not about stopping drinking, it is about living a life again". Well said!
