  • Summary

  • As a mother, I know how complicated family gatherings can be when a loved one is struggling with addiction or is in recovery. In this episode, we’ll explore the delicate balance of creating a welcoming environment while remembering one important truth: we can’t control the addict’s choices. Whether they choose to drink, use drugs, or stay sober—that’s their responsibility, not ours.

    While it’s natural to want to help, we must remind ourselves that carrying this burden is not our job. Our job is to thoughtfully consider the dynamics of the gathering. That might mean making accommodations for the addict—or not including them in everything—while also keeping the needs of the entire family in mind.

    This holiday season, remember that our role is to nurture a space of love and respect for everyone, not just the person in recovery. Tune in for practical tips, heartfelt advice, and encouragement as we navigate the complexities of family gatherings together.
