How to parent our kids effectively. Bree and Chris share some personal parenting struggles, Dawn and Sandy address blindspots that get in the way of effective parenting, and Carlos guides us through dependencies children need from their parents. Welcome to part two of our topic on building resiliency in parenting while in recovery.

How can we be more effective in our parenting by focusing on our recovery? Bree, Dawn, Sandy, and Chris are parents. Accepting that we will let our kids down is a part of life, and a big part of viewing life through the lens of recovery. How do we bounce back after I do a major parenting face plant How do we come back from this in a way that works?We explore how we can build resiliency within our parenting while in recovery.

Where does true, lasting hope come from? The reason we ask this is because if your commitment to recovery is dependent on how you feel, or driven by wanting to feel better, it simply won’t last. In the episode, we contrast two different recovery stories: that of singer Amy Winehouse and comedian Russell Brand. Join us as we talk about how to change behavior by taking actions, what taking ownership looks like for the addict and the partner of an addict, and ultimately how we find hope in an oftentimes seemingly hopeless situation.
