I think what I've experienced- and I hear so many others too- is that in some insane way I feel enriched by this experience, and I mean I can't imagine having even thought that, let alone uttered it, that something like drug addiction would have this, and I heard this expression from people in recovery about the gift of recovery.
Imagine finding out your child's addiction has turned your world upside down. In this gripping episode of 'My Child & Addiction', parents from diverse backgrounds come together to share how their lives have changed due to their children's substance use. The group includes mothers and fathers, some in recovery, married and not, with children ranging from teenagers to adults.
