I’m really grateful you’re back for week three.
This week, we’re stepping into some of the harder parts of the recovery conversation — mental health, boundaries, loneliness, and recurrence of use.
These are the places many families quietly carry fear, exhaustion, confusion, and grief.
And maybe even shame.
But avoiding these conversations doesn’t make them disappear. It just makes us feel more alone inside them.
This week, we’re walking through chapters eight through eleven of When You Love Someone in Recovery, and I hope these conversations help you breathe a little easier and hold a little more hope.
We also have a special bonus conversation this week with Kate Parsons, a Faith-Based Coordinator with Tennessee’s Office of Faith-Based Initiatives. Kate shares her incredible story of long-term recovery, including:
The crucial difference between being sober and being in recovery.
Her unexpected faith journey (and what it looks like to borrow someone else’s higher power until you’re ready).
Why peer support is one of our greatest buffers against a recurrence of use.
How faith communities can break down barriers to truly help.
With you in the journey,
Caroline
