Through faith, tough love, and twelve-step program, the Vericker family helped their son return home to a renewed life. Unchained provides hope for families grappling with addiction.
Ever wondered how a family copes when a loved one spirals into addiction? Nancy McCann Vericker knows this all too well. In this episode of Steppin' Out Radio, Nancy opens up about her family's harrowing yet hopeful journey, detailed in her book, *Unchained: Our Family’s Addiction Mess Is Our Message*. Her son JP's battle with opioid and alcohol addiction took him to the depths of homelessness and violence.
But through unwavering faith, tough love, and a twelve-step program, JP found his way back to a renewed life. Today, he's a co-founder of a Massachusetts treatment program, proving that recovery is possible. Nancy shares the painful steps they had to take, including obtaining an order of protection against JP, but emphasizes the importance of community support and detaching with love. She believes addiction is a disease that can affect anyone, likening it to an allergy that triggers uncontrollable cravings.
This episode offers a raw and honest look at the complexities of addiction and the power of family support in the journey to recovery.
