Marc and Michele: Finding Strength Amid Their Son’s Incarceration

They're only going to get better when they want to get better, they're only gonna. And until that happens, you can do whatever you want. So I always tell my responses that there's something called the naranon pause, which is an awful lot like the Al-Anon pause, in which you don't just do the first thing that comes into your head.
Imagine the heartache of watching a loved one spiral into addiction and end up in prison. In this episode of The Recovery Show, Marc and Michele open up about their emotional journey as parents dealing with their son's addiction and subsequent incarceration. Their story is raw, honest, and deeply moving. They talk about the guilt and helplessness they felt, the support they found in Naranon and Al-Anon, and the hard-earned lessons their son learned behind bars.
The couple also touches on broader issues like the opioid crisis and offers practical advice for those living with a newly sober partner. This episode isn't just about their struggles; it's a testament to the resilience and hope that can be found through the 12-step recovery program. If you're grappling with similar challenges, Marc and Michele's experience might just offer the solace and strength you need.
