It's helping this new way, which is: start with yourself, start with the tools and really throw yourself into the model that we're presenting.
Ever wondered how a supportive community can make a difference in the journey through addiction recovery? In this episode of 'Coming Up for Air', Dominique Simone-Lavigne shares the story of how Allies in Recovery transformed from an idea into a thriving community. She delves into the origins of Allies in Recovery, explaining how it started and evolved into a space where family members help each other using the CRAFT method.
This method, which stands for Community Reinforcement and Family Training, is a proven approach that encourages treatment and positive change. Dominique explains that the platform grew by listening to what families needed and providing high-quality resources at an affordable cost. The podcast itself, 'Coming Up for Air', became a valuable tool for discussing specific challenges and refining the CRAFT techniques. This has allowed the community to continuously improve and adapt to the needs of its members.
One interesting point Dominique makes is about the increase in stress during the holiday season, from November through December. The Allies in Recovery website has adapted to offer even more support during these times, evolving from a discussion blog to include group sessions where members can share their experiences and learn from one another. This peer support is crucial in creating a healthier environment for everyone involved.
The hosts emphasize the importance of focusing on oneself and applying the CRAFT method not just to those struggling with addiction, but to all relationships in life. They highlight that starting with the tools provided on the Allies in Recovery website can lead to significant improvements in one's well-being and interactions with loved ones. In essence, Allies in Recovery has built a credible and supportive community that helps families navigate the complexities of addiction.
This episode is a testament to their success and dedication to providing a positive space for those affected by addiction. If you're dealing with a loved one's addiction, this episode offers valuable insights into how joining such a community can make a real difference.
