If you're listening to this, what we're offering is you don't have to be alone, and, truthfully, the community aspect that we're talking about Today is absolutely essential for you to be able to do this and not feel like you have to keep reinventing the wheel.
Ever felt like you're shouldering the weight of a loved one's addiction all by yourself? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Coming Up for Air', hosts Laurie McDougall, Kayla Solomon, and Dominique Simone-Lavigne open up about the transformative power of community support through Allies in Recovery's Rest and Support groups. These groups are more than just a meeting place; they're a lifeline for families navigating the rough seas of addiction recovery.
Laurie and Kayla share their personal journeys of becoming part of AIR, highlighting how essential it is to have a network that understands and supports you. They dive into the fundamentals of CRAFT (Community Reinforcement and Family Training), a method that encourages small but impactful changes, setting healthy boundaries, and steering clear of unhelpful pronouncements. It's a candid discussion that touches on the real challenges families face, from feeling overwhelmed to finding effective ways to help their loved ones.
Whether you're new to this journey or have been on it for a while, this episode offers practical advice and heartfelt stories that remind you: you don't have to go it alone.
