In this episode, I'm sharing an overview from Session 6 of my 6-week Brain Health Masterclass for Families Impacted by Addiction. This session is about making your best decisions with more confidence, especially when addiction in the family has created stress, fear, and uncertainty. When addiction is present, decision-making can become reactive. You may find yourself making choices out of fear, exhaustion, or habit. Sometimes that looks like black-and-white thinking, either cutting your loved one off completely or continuing to tolerate the chaos and stress addiction creates. In this episode, I talk about how to slow that process down and become more conscious of your decisions. I also share why it matters to create your own decision-making criteria, rather than waiting until a crisis forces your next choice. I'll walk through ideas like Both/And thinking, family-based decision-making, the 10-10-10 model, and the cost of doing nothing. My hope is that this episode helps you look at your decisions with greater clarity, honesty, and care for yourself and your family. This episode also connects with ideas from my book, Rethinking Addiction: The New Family Recovery Solution, where I share a different way for families to understand addiction, communicate differently, and create family rules that are stronger than addiction's chaos.
