They share how codependent behaviors—like people-pleasing, enabling, and lack of boundaries—can keep us stuck in the cycle of addiction or derail our recovery journey. This episode dives into how friends and family, often with the best intentions, may unknowingly hinder recovery by becoming entangled in codependent patterns. With honesty and insight, Jack and April highlight the importance of self-awareness, emotional boundaries, and detachment with love.
