As a mother, having an addict home for the holidays brings a mix of emotions—relief, hope, anxiety, and sometimes fear. In this episode, I’ll speak directly to parents and loved ones navigating how the family pieces come together during this vulnerable time. Depending on your family’s unique situation, the holidays might feel easier than expected—or present challenges that require difficult decisions.

Most importantly, I want to remind you of one thing: you matter. Your well-being is just as important—if not more so—than that of your addicted loved one. Prioritizing your self-care and the needs of the entire family is crucial. Together, we’ll talk about how to support your addict in being healthy without slipping back into enabling behaviors, even when emotions run high.

Join me as we explore ways to approach the holidays with balance, compassion, and boundaries, ensuring this season is meaningful and manageable for everyone in your family.
