The only people that could understand me at the time were people who were either trained in the situation or had been through it, and everyone else seemed to just kind of clog my conversation with pain.
When addiction hits home, it can feel like navigating a storm without a map. In this episode of 'Coming Up for Air', hosts Laurie McDougall and Annie Highwater offer families a beacon of hope with practical tips and heartfelt advice. Whether you're just discovering your loved one's struggle, they're in treatment, or on the road to recovery, Laurie and Annie share wisdom they've gathered through their own experiences and the lessons they wish they'd known earlier.
You'll learn what to look out for if you suspect substance use, how to handle those first calls from a treatment facility, and ways to set boundaries while practicing self-care. They also delve into managing setbacks and the importance of educating yourself about addiction. The episode underscores the role of friendships and relationships in recovery, and offers guidance on balancing support for your loved one with mindfulness of your own needs.
Tune in for a conversation that's both enlightening and deeply empathetic, providing families with the tools they need to navigate the complexities of addiction recovery.
