So… About me…
So… About me…
I was introduced to the concept of family recovery when my adult son went to treatment for substance abuse several years ago. I had been dealing with the chaos, fear, and insanity for a while before we found a good program to help him. By that time, I was exhausted, confused, numb and hopeless. My home and family structure were so out of balance from the assault of the disease of addiction, and I could not even imagine that it could ever get better.
Luckily for me, the treatment center’s family support program offered a roadmap to recovery for me, recovery from being enmeshed with my son’s struggle and codependent on his dysfunctional lifestyle.
My roadmap, my plan if you will, offered me a way out of the insanity and paved a path back to balance, peace and joyful living. I worked hard at understanding what the clinicians were telling me, and then I committed to doing the hard work of changing my life. I was hoping that my son cared enough to do the same while in treatment, so wasn’t I worth the same effort for my own life? I said yes to that idea, and I got my life back.
Now I’m passionate about sharing my story and what I’ve learned to give families the skills and direction so they too can gain understanding, find their strength, and have hope of living lives they deserve to live.
For years now, I have served as a mentor at treatment centers and structured sober living facilities, spoken at family workshops, and written articles and workbooks about the power of family recovery and methods for getting back on track to a life worth living. All of this has led me to my new life as a recovery coach for families. I come by this honestly….I have walked this path.
