And then, all of a sudden, the tables got turned, and it wasn't really about my son anymore, it was about me and about how god needed to work in me to help me realize that his plan is the best plan, not mine, and that there's nothing I can do that would be better than what he can do for my son, and that he loves my son way more than I ever thought about loving him.
Carla's story is a unique twist on the usual tales of addiction recovery. Instead of hearing from the person battling addiction, this episode of 'She Surrenders - The Podcast' gives us a heartfelt perspective from the addict's mother. Carla opens up about her son's struggle with addiction and the emotional turmoil it brought to their family.
She candidly shares the red flags she noticed, the impact on their daily lives, and the moments of despair and hope that defined their journey. Through raw honesty and deep faith, Carla illustrates how surrendering to God's plan provided her with the strength to navigate these challenges. Her story isn't just about the pain of addiction; it's about finding light in the darkest times and the power of community support.
Inspired by her experiences, Carla founded a support group called REFRESH, aimed at helping other families find pathways to reconciliation and healing. This episode is a touching reminder that even in the toughest battles, faith and support can pave the way to recovery.
