Kara Vogt's Battle Against Addiction: A Mother's Story of Hope and Advocacy
“This podcast is about hope and recovery, and I think it's important for people to understand that, although the person who is addicted has a recovery, the family also very much has a recovery process that they have to go through, both for themselves and if they want to maintain, as most of us do, any type of a relationship with their child or spouse, parent, loved one, whomever it may be.”
