Laurie shares her personal journey with her son, revealing how she learned to distinguish between what she could and couldn't live with. This episode isn't just theoretical; it's packed with real-life experiences and practical advice. The hosts emphasize the importance of recognizing substance abuse patterns and experimenting with the CRAFT method to find what works best for you and your loved one.
