Addiction, Family of Origin & Lifestyle Choices

Season 1 Episode 8 Published 1 year, 11 months ago
Description

If our family and social circle cultivate closeness, trust, and warmth, we're more likely to do the same. If our FOO is isolated or gives us a sense of insecurity, we're more likely to keep others at a distance and arm's length. 

Our family of origin can also shape our lifestyle choices. As children, we tend to mimic what we see around us. If our FOO tends to be active and socialize, we tend to do the same things as we get older. If our FOO smokes, drinks uses drugs, and isolates, we may gravitate towards that, too.
