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 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.
