Episode Overview
- Recognise where your control ends with phrases like 'Adam's going to do what Adam's going to do'.

- Adopt long-term strategies for supporting your loved one.
- Role model healthy behaviours and emotional regulation.
'Adam's going to do what Adam's going to do', and that is a recognition of where my control begins and where my control ends.
In this episode of Coming Up for Air, Isabel Cooney and Kayla Solomon dive into the favourite tools and tips from the CRAFT method, as shared by family members who have experienced the highs and lows of supporting loved ones with substance use disorders. You'll hear from Kenny Grant, Jody Dole, and Bridget, who each share their personal journeys and the invaluable lessons they've learned through Allies in Recovery.
Kenny highlights the importance of recognising where your control ends with phrases like 'Adam's going to do what Adam's going to do' and 'observe, don't absorb'. Jody discusses the impact of Module 3, which helped her shift from a reactive approach to a more thoughtful, long-term strategy in supporting her son. Bridget emphasises the power of using 'I' statements and validating her loved one's feelings without necessarily agreeing with them.
Kayla adds her insights on the process of change, likening it to erosion rather than a sudden event. This episode is packed with practical advice and heartfelt stories that offer hope and guidance to anyone navigating the challenges of a loved one's addiction. Tune in to gain valuable tools and a sense of community that can make a real difference in your journey.
