Meet Tom and Barb, a couple who thought they were attending a family program to help their son, only to find themselves on a path to their own recovery. In this episode of 'The Embrace Family Recovery Podcast', host Margaret Swift Thompson, with over two decades of experience in chemical dependency counseling, sits down with Tom and Barb to discuss their unique journey.
Barb, who calls herself the 'Queen of Enabling', and Tom, a driven corporate problem-solver, share how they navigated the complex world of loving a son with chemical dependency. They reflect on how addiction silently affects every family member and how their healing processes unfolded at different paces. Tom emphasizes the importance of focusing on personal recovery within the family dynamic.
Blended family challenges and the critical role of acceptance are also discussed, shedding light on the often-overlooked aspects of family recovery. This heartfelt conversation offers hope, practical advice, and a sense of community for anyone loving someone with addiction.
