I think for me, when I realized that for sure, that there was something different about the journey my mom was going down, but still at that time I knew very little about recovery in terms of opioids and what that process was going to look like.
Meet Glory, a daughter who knows all too well the impact of addiction within a family. In this heartfelt episode of 'The Embrace Family Recovery Podcast', host Margaret Swift Thompson sits down with Glory to explore her journey from childhood into adulthood, shaped by her mother's addiction. This is the first part of a three-part conversation where Glory opens up about the challenges she faced and the victories she achieved along the way.
She shares how early counseling, introduced by her mother, became a lifeline and a foundation for her own self-care practices. For parents, this episode offers valuable insights into how addiction affects children and provides practical tools for family recovery. Glory's story isn't just about struggle; it's about finding hope, embracing spirituality, and seeking outside help to combat teenage isolation.
Whether you're a parent looking for guidance or someone wanting to understand the family dynamics of addiction better, this episode promises to be both enlightening and supportive.
