I learned about respect, about having respect for my loved one that is suffering with sud, not just having respect for people that weren't suffering from this disease, but the person that's also suffering with this disease.
Imagine navigating the stormy seas of addiction recovery without a map. Laurie MacDougall and Annie Highwater, both mothers of adult sons in recovery from opiate addiction, share their personal journeys and how support groups have been their lifeline. In this episode of 'Coming Up for Air', they dive into the emotional and practical benefits of finding your tribe. Laurie and Annie emphasize the importance of detaching from the disease, setting boundaries, and prioritizing self-care.
They open up about their experiences with the CRAFT approach, a method focused on communication and bridge-building with loved ones struggling with addiction. The conversation also busts common myths about intervention tactics and highlights the critical role of prevention and awareness for parents of teenagers. Whether you're just starting out or have been on this path for a while, Laurie and Annie's heartfelt discussion offers a beacon of hope and practical advice for anyone dealing with addiction in the family.
