Episode 42 - Getting out of your Echo Chamber, Containment, and more Football Artwork

Siblinghood of Recovery

When I found out my son was deep in the throes of Substance Use Disorder (SUD), chaos became the norm. As each step became more challenging, the information on SUDs, treatment, healing, and basically everything that comes with an SUD Family crisis, became overwhelming. Inundated with so much information, I felt like I had crossed space and time and landed in a new world. I actually had: I had entered the world of Recovery. My goal through this Podcast is to condense what I learned into small increments, and provide anyone willing to listen a message of hope. The world of Recovery is filled with parents, children, and family members who walk together. We share what we learn, listen with heart, and provide a community of support. We are a Siblinghood of Recovery.

So, this year, we're going to get to work on finetuning how we can become healthier individuals, contributing to the Family System, one concept and one step at a time. Welcome 2023, and let's get to work!
