© 2024 Siblinghood of Recovery
Description
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.

What if you discovered your role as a parent isn't as straightforward as you thought, particularly when dealing with a child's addiction? That's the tough pill we're swallowing in today's conversation. As a parent, your influence can shape your child's life in ways you may not fully comprehend. As we explore the murkier waters of parenting and addiction, we'll address the importance of examining our own upbringings, the impact of our parenting styles, and reconciling our expectations with our...
It has been a minute! I moved into our new home, caught COVID, then battled with Pink Eye, and now have a hernia from coughing so much. But I'm still alive and kicking!

This Episode is dedicated to Safety planning and how easy it is to access the potentially life-saving safety-net: NARCAN. 1:20 - Moms for All Paths of Recovery ...

I am so excited to have an upcoming interview on C.R.A.F.T., Community Reinforcement and Family Training.

In this Episode, I interview Alex White, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor based out of Salt Lake City, Utah. I met Alex as a Facilitator of an Evoke Therapy Finding You Intensive program.

You will hear in Alex's voice his steady and gentle approach to counseling. And throughout the dialogue, you'll learn how Alex utilizes advanc...
It is January and you know what means? We are working on Step 1, "We admitted we were powerless over others – that our lives had become unmanageable”. The premise of this Episode is to begin the process of understanding addiction, not controlling addiction (because that truly will never happen). As Parents begin the Journey of their own Healing, gaining a true understanding of how we each embrace our Higher Power, will create opportunity for a fruitful building of our foundation of Faith. And...
As we move into the new year, I've made a commitment to myself, and anyone listening to this Podcast, to condense concepts covered to no more than one or two. I realized in 2022, there are so many aspects of Recovery that attempting to combine three or four subjects does not give enough time to highlight many of foundational practices that can help parents grow within as they deal with their child's substance use disorder. So, this year, we're going to get to work on finetuning how we can bec...

So, as you pass the cranberry sauce (and please contact me if you have any great recipes, contact info is on the website), remember: ...
This interview is with Gavin Whitteker, Outreach Coordinator for Resilience Recovery Resources. Gavin opens up about his own Journey and how this impacts his ability to understand what Families are going through when they first reach out to Resilience, a Treatment Center that provides clinical aftercare and life skills development for the adolescent and emerging adult male population.

Excerpt from The Washington Post, Perspective by Valerie Strauss, Staff writer, August 1, 2022 at 9:49 a.m. EDT, "Last year, a website called VeryWellFamily.com published an article on “lawn-mower parents” — successors to the “helicopter parent” who were long known for “hovering” over their children and being overly involved in their lives. Lawn-mower parents were even more overly involved, according to the article, making “helicopter parents look mild in comparison,” not just hovering. “They...

Susan describes how many of the laws that were actually in place, but not recognized, may have contributed to his passing. Many of us will relate with the stigma of substance abuse while navigating resources available to treat and heal addiction, the daunting monetary impact of treatment ...
Each experience with addiction is different as each Family, each person struggling with addiction challenges is different, and each path to Recovery is different. This Episode is an introduction to discovering other paths of Recovery in advance to next week's interview with Susan Ousterman. By citing Dr. Noral Volkow's blog on NIDA's site, we highlight Dr. Volkow being a strong proponent against the concept of having to hit "rock bottom" to begin a successful Recovery. To prepare for next wee...

We'll also be interviewing parents traveling this Recovery Journey, w...
My son walked this past week in his High School Graduation, culminating eighteen months of Recovery work and celebrating his investment in himself. To say I'm a proud Mom is an understatement. To say I am learning from all that he has done, is yet another understatement. To say I have so much more work to do, yep, it is yet another understatement. Good news is, I'm ready. For now, though, I bid you adieu as I take a much-needed break from Podcasting over the next few summer months. I p...

The process of addiction involves completely abandoning expectations. They no longer serve you, nor anyone else involved in the process. But...those hopes do exist. In this Episode I site Nora McInerny journey of grieving her Husband's death and how Nora refused to let anyone 'Should' all over her in how to heal from this loss. The same can happen with parents of children battling addiction. But who are we serving when we hold on to expected milestones of pre-defined success? For me, no o...
