“Don't give up! If you are an addict and you want to come out of addiction and you
want to have a life that you enjoy living and want to be able to have self-respect, reach out for help.
Don't give up on yourself. If you are a loved one, don't give up on the addict...
Loved ones, you are not responsible for your addict's addiction"
​- Candace Plattor


My guest this week is Candace Plattor.  You will be inspired by her story of how she rose above her own addiction to now being an addiction therapist  who specializes in working with the families of people who are struggling with addiction. Candace believes that everyone in the family is affected by addiction and everyone needs to heal.   For more than 28 years, she has been helping both addicts and their loved ones understand their dysfunctional behaviours and make healthier life choices. 
​

During the episode, we discuss:

  • How crohn's disease led her to addiction to painkillers   [1:30]
  
  • Addiction is a symptom of what is going underneath  [3:11]
 
  • The tough position of family members and enablers   [12:37]
 
  • How to handle a loved one with addiction  [18:13]
  
  • The one word that shifts the thinking of an addict [22:12}
