Michaela opens up about her sister's journey with high-functioning addiction, starting from youthful injuries treated with potent pain medications and the spiral into dependency that followed.

Canterburys narrative takes us through the trials, tribulations, and transformative steps towards healing and support in the face of addiction. Key Takeaways:High-functioning addicts often appear successful and capable, masking their struggles with substance dependency.Early exposure to prescription drugs for pain or behavioral management can unknowingly catalyze an addiction trajectory.Enabling behaviors from loved ones, like providing money, can inadvertently contribute to sustaining an addict's habits.Recovery requires the individual's own acknowledgement of the problem and commitment to seeking help; it cannot be forced upon them.Supporting an addict with love and understanding involves setting healthy boundaries. Pick up a copy of Michaela's book on Amazon Sister Siren: A Non Fiction About Addiction
