I really want others to know and believe there is hope and to never lose hope... and I just want everyone to know that there is help, and please go ask for it.
When addiction hits home, it’s a journey that tests every fiber of your being. In this heartfelt episode of Horizon Heart to Heart, a courageous mother opens up about her experience supporting her son through the dark and challenging path of addiction. She candidly discusses the rollercoaster of emotions—from the initial shock and denial to the crushing weight of enabling behaviors, and ultimately, to the empowering realization that true recovery requires a solid support system and professional treatment.
The episode dives deep into the family dynamics affected by addiction, offering a raw and real look at the struggles of setting boundaries and the necessity of building a community around those in recovery.
