It's very difficult, but the only way that I see is right to actually deal with such a scenario is by talking about it and not talking about with your friend, who might have no clue about addiction or about what you're going through, or depression or all those kind of things.
Imagine discovering your child is battling addiction. What do you do next? In this episode of 'Steps to Sobriety', host Stephan Neff sits down with Darryl Rodgers, a parent who has walked this heartbreaking path. Darryl's oldest son, Chase, tragically lost his life in a drug-impaired accident at just 20 years old. Since then, Darryl has dedicated his life to helping other parents navigate the stormy waters of their children's substance use disorders.
Darryl shares his deeply personal journey, recounting how Chase's addiction began and escalated, ultimately leading to his untimely death. He provides practical advice for parents, emphasizing the importance of seeking help and maintaining open, honest communication with their children. Darryl also discusses the alarming rise of drug use in schools, particularly the dangers posed by fentanyl. One of the key messages Darryl conveys is the necessity for parents to be willing to change themselves to better support their children.
He talks about his work with PAL (Parents of Addicted Loved Ones) and the significance of peer support groups in providing much-needed guidance and empathy. Darryl's story is one of profound loss but also of hope and resilience. He encourages parents to share their experiences as a way to heal and help others facing similar challenges. Tune in to this heartfelt episode to gain valuable insights on supporting a child through addiction.
Darryl's wisdom and compassion offer a beacon of hope for families grappling with this difficult issue.
