So many families are suffering and whether we know it or not, we are the strongest link in the chain.
What happens when addiction touches every corner of a family's life? In this heartfelt episode of 'Recovery Speaks', Nicole Federici, Co-founder of Recovery Advocates for the Shore (Rafts) and a mother of three, opens up about her family's battle with addiction. Nicole's candid conversation offers a raw and real look into the challenges they face daily and the small victories that keep them going.
She talks about the importance of recognizing addiction as a chronic disease, not a moral failing, and stresses the need for ongoing care and support for both the person struggling and their loved ones. One key takeaway from Nicole's story is the vital role of family navigators—those who've walked the path of addiction and recovery and now help guide others through the same journey. These navigators speak the language of families, offering a beacon of hope and practical advice.
Nicole also highlights the importance of self-care for families dealing with addiction. It's not just about supporting the addicted individual but also about taking time to recharge and seek support from friends who understand their situation. This episode is a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction, offering insights into how families can find strength and resilience amid their struggles.
