A Mother's Perspective: Navigating the Chaos of Addiction

My prayer is that something in it helps you and your family find some hope and something that you can use. Remember, you're not in this alone.
Imagine facing the daily turmoil of having a child addicted to heroin for 15 years. Chelsea Dimitri, the host of 'Tales from the Jungle - Living with Addiction', knows this struggle all too well. In this introductory episode, Chelsea opens up about her experiences as a mother of an addict and why she believes family members often feel left in the dark.
She shares her personal journey, revealing how traditional recovery advice doesn't always fit the needs of sober family members. With a degree in criminology and criminal justice, Chelsea offers a unique lens on the challenges and nuances of addiction. She talks candidly about regaining control of her life and the importance of maintaining anonymity for herself and her daughter. This episode sets the stage for future discussions on enabling, abuse, shame, and more.
Chelsea's raw honesty and hard-won wisdom make this podcast a beacon of hope for families navigating the stormy seas of addiction.
