I just didn't know, even when someone, you know, I knew people had addiction in their family, but I just had assumptions that there were differences.
Imagine picking up your seemingly successful college freshman and, within a week, finding yourself checking him into rehab. That's the harrowing reality Kirsten E. Vogel faced, and she shares her powerful journey on this episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio'. Hosted by Monty Dale Meyer, affectionately known as the Monty'man, this episode dives deep into the emotional rollercoaster of parenting a child battling addiction.
Kirsten opens up about the shock, fear, and isolation she experienced, which led her to write her book, 'In Sickness and In Silence'. She talks candidly about the stigma surrounding addiction and the struggle to find support and resources. Through her story, Kirsten highlights the importance of open-mindedness, perseverance, and community in navigating the challenges of addiction.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the impact of addiction on families and the crucial role of support systems in recovery.
