Nobody's perfect. And it worked. When Amanda asked for their help in a jail cell, they were ready; and helped her start on her beautiful recovery journey.
Picture this: Your child is arrested, and you discover they're battling heroin addiction. For Lynette, this was a harsh reality when her daughter Amanda's struggle with opioids came to light. In this episode of 'Family Addiction Coaching', Lynette opens up about the rollercoaster journey she and her husband embarked on to support Amanda through her darkest times. From the moment Lynette uttered the compassionate words, 'Nobody's perfect', their approach was rooted in unconditional love and harm reduction.
They fortified their home with deadbolt locks and steel window bars, not to shut Amanda out but to keep her safe. When Amanda reached out for help from a jail cell, her parents were there, ready to assist her in starting her recovery journey. This heartfelt episode dives deep into the real-life challenges and triumphs of a family dealing with addiction.
Lynette's story sheds light on the impact of coaching services and the Community Reinforcement And Family Training (CRAFT) approach, which played a crucial role in Amanda's recovery. It's a tale of resilience, hope, and the power of never giving up on a loved one. If you're seeking inspiration and practical advice on supporting someone with addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
