When a loved one struggles with addiction, it doesn’t just impact them—it shakes the entire family to its core. In this powerful episode of The Get Unhooked Podcast, Jason Coombs sits down with the real experts: mothers who have lived through the chaos, grief, and heartbreak of a child’s addiction journey.

In their own honest, unfiltered words, these courageous mothers reveal what they wish they had known sooner—the mistakes they made, the boundaries they finally learned to set, and the powerful shift from enabling to true support.

You'll hear raw reflections on:

  • Facing the pain of "losing" the child they once knew
  • Overcoming the guilt and shame that addiction brings to families
  • Learning that real love sometimes means stepping back, not stepping in
  • Finding peace even when their loved one’s path remains uncertain
  • The practical tools and mindset shifts that changed everything

If you’re a parent, family member, or someone who loves an addict, this episode will help you feel seen, understood, and empowered.
 You’re not alone. There’s a way forward—and it doesn’t require sacrificing your own sanity or happiness.
