You Are Not Alone: Finding Strength in Shared Stories of Addiction

Recovery is about relationships, and really the theme that you picked tonight, you're not alone, is really what recovery is all about: connecting with other people.
Parenting a child with substance use disorder can be an incredibly isolating experience, filled with moments of shame and loneliness. But what if you could connect with others who truly understand your struggles? In this episode of 'My Child & Addiction', parents come together to share their heartfelt stories and offer each other support. This isn't just another discussion; it's a lifeline for those navigating the turbulent waters of addiction within their families.
Featuring insights from Doug Tieman, President and CEO of Caron Treatment Centers, the conversation delves into the importance of community and the comforting mantra, 'You Are Not Alone'. The group of parents, including mothers and fathers from various backgrounds, talk openly about their challenges, from respecting their children's privacy to dealing with court cases. They also touch on the role of trauma therapy in their healing journey.
Whether you're a parent in recovery or simply seeking a supportive community, this episode provides a sense of solidarity and hope. It’s a reminder that while the journey is tough, you don’t have to walk it alone.
