Imagine being a parent and feeling helpless as your child battles addiction. In this episode of 'The Embrace Family Recovery Podcast', Bob, a father of a son with a substance use disorder, opens up about his own journey to find peace amidst the chaos. Hosted by Margaret Swift Thompson, a seasoned counselor with over two decades of experience, the conversation dives into the practical tools Bob used to manage his stress, anxiety, and obsession with his son's condition.
Bob's story is a beacon of hope for anyone who loves someone struggling with addiction. He shares how he came to understand that the disease had affected him deeply and that he deserved the same care and healing he wished for his son. This realization led Bob to adopt various coping mechanisms that not only helped him but could also be beneficial for others in similar situations.
Throughout the episode, Bob and Margaret discuss the importance of recognizing the impact of addiction on family members and the necessity of personal healing.
