Coming Up for Air — A Toolkit to Help with Your Loved One's Recovery from Addiction & Mental Illness

Annie And Laurie's Stories


Listen Later

In this episode, Laurie and Annie briefly introduce themselves and discuss backgrounds, family dynamics and open up about their lives leading up to and through their experience with the national opiate crisis entering their lives. Two very different paths leading to the same journey of recovery. Their compelling stories validate the idea that addiction is a disease and it’s a family disease that can happen to any family in any community. We must recover together. Coming Up for Air brings together two inspiring moms, for thoughtful discussion of topics pertaining to addiction in the family. Both Annie Highwater and Laurie MacDougall have adult sons in recovery from opiate addiction. They also consider themselves to be in recovery, and have made self-care a central goal of their lives. Both use the CRAFT approach for addiction in the family. Allies in Recovery has made these podcasts available to the public in the hopes that you will relate to the experiences described by Laurie and Annie, that you will learn from them and be reminded that you are not alone. AlliesInRecovery.net is the online home for families dealing with a loved one's addiction. We teach the CRAFT method of intervention, based on communication techniques, self-awareness and bridge-building with your addicted loved one. http://alliesinrecovery.net/
