EP 76: Addiction Recovery for Families: How One Shift Changed Everything

What if the biggest breakthrough in your child's addiction recovery journey isn't about them—but about you?

Many parents believe that their child’s sobriety is the only path to peace. But what if your own healing could spark a transformation in the entire family dynamic—even before your child chooses recovery?

  • Discover how one parent's emotional shift reduced conflict and created space for connection.
  • Learn simple changes that bring more calm, even in the chaos of addiction.
  • Hear a powerful story of how self-care and boundaries can shift the energy of an entire household.
  • Tune in now to hear how one parent’s healing became the catalyst for hope and change in their family.

This podcast provides practical guidance and support for families navigating the challenges of substance abuse disorder, offering insights from addiction recovery experts, family therapy, and support groups like Al-Anon and Family Drug Support, with a focus on understanding how to help and support loved ones dealing with addiction, including heroin addiction, through counselling and treatment options.
