For every addict, there's seven to ten of us that this little person is weaving destruction in and out of the life. Nobody's talking about that, nobody's dealing with their destruction.
Imagine growing up in a household where addiction is a constant shadow. Amanda Franklin knows this reality all too well. In this episode of 'This Pink Cloud', DJ Kelly Reverb and Dusty Burrows chat with Amanda, a life coach and licensed professional counselor, about her journey from living with addiction to helping others through her initiative, Recovery for the Rest of Us.
Amanda's story is a testament to the strength needed to set boundaries and foster healing within families affected by addiction. Amanda opens up about her personal experiences with Al-Anon, a support group for families of alcoholics, and how it shaped her understanding of codependency. She shares the profound impact addiction had on her life, both as a child and as an adult, and emphasizes the importance of self-awareness in the healing process.
One of the key takeaways from their conversation is the need for families to establish boundaries, not just for their own well-being but also to support the recovery of their loved ones. The discussion takes a deeper turn as Amanda talks about forgiveness—not as a way to forget the past, but as a means to release its grip on our present lives. She also highlights the crucial role of crisis lines and wellness checks in supporting those struggling with addiction.
Amanda's insights are practical and heartfelt, offering listeners valuable advice on navigating the complexities of addiction and recovery. If you or someone you know is dealing with addiction, this episode provides a wealth of knowledge and encouragement. Amanda's belief that 'there is no magic pill for sobriety' underscores the importance of continuous effort and support in the journey towards healing. Tune in to hear more about setting boundaries, fostering self-awareness, and the transformative power of forgiveness.
