Tough Love: A Mother's Journey Through Her Son's Addiction

I think that parents need to realize that us telling our kids don't do drugs is not going to stop them from doing drugs if they have the ability to get high or they have friends that are getting high.
Imagine the heartache of watching your child spiral into addiction. In this deeply moving episode of 'High While Clean', Eric McCoy sits down with his wife to explore their family's painful journey through their son's substance abuse. Eric, a seasoned recovery expert, brings a unique perspective, but it's his wife's raw and honest reflections that truly hit home. She talks about the agonizing decision to turn away from her son to help him find his own path to recovery.
It's a stark reminder that sometimes, loving someone means letting them face their pain head-on. The conversation touches on the fine line between enabling and supporting, the crucial role of rehab, and how pain can ultimately drive change. This episode offers a beacon of hope for families in similar situations, showing that even in the darkest times, there is a way forward.
