Getting ready is tangible and real. It requires taking practical steps. How we feel about taking these steps is irrelevant. It's only once we begin the journey that we truly understand the journey.
Imagine standing at the edge of a daunting journey, unsure if you're truly prepared to take the first step. In this episode of 'A Dose of Hope', Ginny Mills dives into the concept of readiness when dealing with a child's addiction. Drawing from her own experience with her son's struggles, Ginny discusses how waiting to feel 'ready' can be a trap that keeps parents from taking crucial action.
Instead, she champions the importance of practical steps and having faith in the recovery process. Ginny introduces listeners to the Love First Model of Intervention, developed by Jeff and Deborah Jay, which has been a guiding light in her own journey. She explains how this model offers a structured approach to intervention, emphasizing love and support over confrontation. For parents feeling overwhelmed, this episode provides a roadmap for moving forward, even when uncertainty looms large.
Throughout the episode, Ginny also highlights valuable resources available at ParentingThroughAddiction.com. From educational videos to information about treatment centers and aftercare, the website offers a wealth of support for parents navigating these tough times. Group support and private consultations are also available, ensuring that no parent has to face this journey alone. Ginny's candid sharing of her personal story, combined with practical advice, makes this episode a must-listen for any parent grappling with their child's addiction.
It's a reminder that taking action, even when you don't feel ready, can be the most important step towards recovery.
