A Mother’s Story of Hope: Addiction, Recovery, and God’s Grace

When addiction strikes, it doesn’t just impact one person—it shakes an entire family. In this episode of the Lessons from Living podcast, author Kathryn Mae Inman opens up about walking beside her son through years of struggle, including six failed rehab attempts, relapses, and the devastating chaos of addiction.

But this is not only a story of pain—it’s a story of hope. Kathryn shares how faith in Christ became her anchor during the darkest seasons and how her son’s eventual surrender to God led to true healing and restoration. Today, he is living proof that no one is ever too far gone for God’s grace.

If you’re a parent, sibling, or friend of someone battling addiction, this heartfelt conversation—rooted in Kathryn’s book Counting Spoons—offers encouragement, perseverance, and a reminder that God’s redeeming love never fails.
