From Heartache to Hope: A Mother and Son's Journey Through Addiction
One of the incredible gifts of recovery is that we can continue to transform, being able to look back at my story and see that I did something that was, in my eyes, completely impossible: to stop using drugs.
Why isn't love enough to conquer addiction? This heart-wrenching question is at the core of a conversation between host Margaret Swift Thompson and guests Madeleine Dean and Harry Cunnane on 'The Embrace Family Recovery Podcast'. Madeleine and Harry, the authors of 'Under Our Roof', share their deeply personal story of battling addiction and the profound loss it brings. Their journey is one of relentless love, fear, and ultimately, hope.
They reveal how these experiences inspired them to write a children's book, 'You Are Always Loved', aiming to spark meaningful conversations about difficult emotions with young readers. This episode is a touching exploration of the power of vulnerability, compassion, and the unwavering belief that no one is beyond help. For anyone looking for a beacon of hope amidst the storm of addiction, this episode offers a heartfelt reminder that love, when paired with understanding and resilience, can light the way.
