Emerge Recovery

To any mother who's son or daughter previously or currently struggles with drugs and alcohol: one of the things I have heard is the best Mother's day gift for a Mom is for her son or daughter to get sober and stay sober.

Emerge Recovery is on a mission to understand how to help people do this more effectively.

This is a brief survey to explore your personal experience, if you are the mother of someone who has in the past or present struggled with alcohol or drugs, to help me better understand your goals and desires regarding your son or daughter’s challenges with alcohol or drugs.

Do you have an addiction treatment program lined up for your loved one yet?

Pre-planning addiction treatment programs for your loved one is crucial.

Scrambling to find a facility with an open bed is the last thing you want to deal with.

You want to be prepared for the moment your child is finally ready to get help.

🤔 Have you put any thought into which facilities may be a good fit for your child?

If not, now is a great time to start looking into the options available to you.

Need a few more reasons to convince you?

Check out my blog post linked in the comments below.

Is the anxiety and fear in your life due to the chaos of your son or daughter's alcohol or drug use devastating your family?

Is saying no to your son or daughter's demands for financial support a challenge for you? You are not alone.

Excited to share this post from my blog about setting effective boundaries in addictive family systems. DM's are open - if this post resonates with you, I'd love to chat.

"There are all sorts of reasons why you feel you can’t say “no” to your son or daughter. Maybe it seems like you’re leaving them to fend for themselves. You might believe they can’t handle things alone and need your ongoing support. Perhaps you’re worried they’ll get themselves into trouble or danger if you’re not there to step in.

Whatever the reason may be, learning to say “no” is the first step toward actually helping your child. It may seem like the opposite is true, but you must learn to set boundaries and leave them to handle their problems on their own. If you’re constantly saving them from their problems they will never have any reason to learn to handle them."

Emerge Recovery has an effective process to help parents reclaim their lives from the chaos of their child's addiction so they can restore their own wellness and actually help their son or daughter get sober and STAY SOBER.

🤫 Is trust hard to come by in your home?

Trust quickly falls apart when families live in an environment that isn’t conducive to safe expression or conversation.

Suspicion and doubt become the family watchwords.

The slow process of recovering trust among family members is a vital part of recovery.

But how do you approach that process?

That's what I want to work on with your family: help your child get sober and stay sober, and help your family heal along the way.

We’d like to invite you to join our free Facebook community, Beyond Addiction: Help Your Son or Daughter Get Sober and Stay Sober.

We're a group filled with mothers who understand what you're going through.

We're discussing the ways that we can create a space for our families to heal.

And we're supporting each other throughout that journey.

👇 I'll include the link to the group in the comments below.

🤐 Secrecy.

😕 Distrust.

🤕 Mental strain.

😣 Emotional fatigue.

😴 Physical exhaustion.

😤 Financial stress.

What are things like at home right now?

Do any of these things run rampant in your household?

When your child suffers from addiction, your whole family falls ill, too.

Working through these feelings and overcoming the impact of addiction won't happen all at once, but the work should start sooner rather than later.

🤔 Which of these feelings are affecting your family right now?

Let me know in the comments below.

🤔 Is it time to ask for help?

Only you can answer this question.

Maybe you're still trying to work through a few more options and ideas of your own about your son or daughter's substance abuse.

My mother did the most she could with what she had to help me, but there was no way I was going to stop until I ran out of options.

I hope your son or daughter is almost to that point, too. Your efforts to get them to quit will be in vain until they are.

I've got a quick quiz you can take to determine how things are going in your family.

Are you still managing or are you just scraping by?

Take the assessment below (link is in comments - it's absolutely free!) and see whether it might be time for YOU to reach out for help.
