Can Self Compassion Weave Addictions Chaotic Jumble of Threads Into Something Beautiful?

The work of family recovery.

What are the challenges?
What are the payoffs?

In this episode, Sandy Swenson shares how as family members, we deny our addictions and issues because our preoccupation with our addicted loved one is all-consuming unless we develop a community of support and tools to develop self-focus rather than being other-focused 24/7.

What is there to be grateful for when the disease of addiction has infiltrated our family?
Could the answer be 'our recovery'?

As we end this episode Sandy reflects on the power of mamas, which seems fitting on this Mother's Day, May 9, 2021.

For the club of mothers of children with addiction - a club we never wanted to join, we are stronger together, find other mamas.

To all the mothers out there Happy Mothers Day!
