Redefining Success: Heather Ross on Finding Joy Beyond Sobriety

Sobriety cannot be your only measure for success. I don't think anybody ever told me that. I wish somebody had told me.
Feeling like you're failing because your child isn't sober yet? Heather Ross, a recovery coach who’s been in your shoes, offers a fresh perspective in this episode of 'Living with Your Child's Addiction'. She understands the heartache and frustration that come with the belief that 'it's not working'. Heather shares her personal journey of pain and shame, and how she discovered a new way to support her daughter that transformed their relationship.
Heather explains that focusing solely on sobriety can make the journey feel like an endless uphill battle. Instead, she suggests celebrating small wins and recognizing other measures of success. These small victories, whether it's better self-care or meaningful moments with your child, can provide the momentum needed to keep going. By broadening the definition of success, you can create a more supportive and connected family environment.
Heather emphasizes that addiction recovery isn't just about your child getting sober; it's about fostering overall health and joy in your family life. She reminds us that finding moments of joy, even when things are tough, is crucial for both you and your child. Heather's compassionate and collaborative approach offers practical advice for parents struggling with addiction in their families. This episode is packed with insights on how to measure success beyond sobriety and create a nurturing space for recovery.
If you're feeling overwhelmed and stuck, Heather's wisdom might be just what you need to find hope and keep moving forward.
