THE OTHER SIDE OF ADDICTION: A MOTHER'S 20-YEAR FIGHT FOR CHANGE
When is enough, enough? What really is rock bottom? And what happens when the systems designed to help keep sending families in circles?
For over 20 years, Karen has stood beside her son through the heartbreaking ups and downs of addiction. The hope, the setbacks, the frustration, the emotional exhaustion, and the never-ending question: What else can I do to help someone I love?
In this powerful episode of Risen from the Ashes – The Redemption Podcast, we're looking at addiction from a perspective that doesn't get talked about nearly enough: the people who love someone struggling with it.
Karen shares what she's learned over two decades, what has helped, where she's encountered gaps in the recovery system, and what she believes families and individuals truly need to create lasting change.
But this conversation goes beyond one family's story.
Why do so many families feel stuck in the same cycle?
Where can people turn when the resources they're given aren't enough?
What needs to change so recovery programs can better support both individuals and their families?
And if we can't change the entire system overnight, where can we start making a difference TODAY?
We're not here just to talk about the problems. We're here to start conversations, explore solutions, connect resources, and work toward real change.
Because addiction doesn't just affect one person. It touches families, relationships, and entire communities.
It's time to listen to both sides. It's time to break the cycle. And it's time to turn these conversations into action.
