This podcast is about hope and recovery, and I think it's important for people to understand that, although the person who is addicted has a recovery, the family also very much has a recovery process that they have to go through, both for themselves and if they want to maintain, as most of us do, any type of a relationship with their child or spouse, parent, loved one, whomever it may be.
Have you ever wondered how addiction affects not just the individual but the entire family? Kara Vogt knows this all too well. In this compelling episode of 'Hope Discovered', Kara opens up about her personal journey through the maze of addiction and recovery, sparked by her son's struggle with drug use. Her story is a heartfelt testament to the power of family, empathy, and community support in the fight against addiction.
After discovering her son's addiction, Kara didn't just stand by; she took action. She founded F.A.T.H.E.R.S. (Families Against the Heroin Epidemic Rally in Stark) and StarkHeroinEpidemic.org, two organizations dedicated to helping families navigate the tumultuous waters of addiction and recovery. Kara emphasizes that recovery isn't just for the person addicted; it's a family affair. Everyone involved needs to heal and find their way back to a healthy, supportive relationship.
Through her advocacy work, Kara sheds light on the importance of community support and education in understanding addiction. She believes that empathy and informed support can make a world of difference for families grappling with these challenges. This episode is a powerful reminder that while addiction can be isolating, there is hope and help available. Tune in to hear Kara's inspiring story and learn how you can support loved ones on their recovery journey.
