How to Help a Loved One Through Addiction and Recovery with Alison Jones Webb • 254

• 65 min

We will learn: How a history of trauma affects recovery. How allies can reduce the shame and stigma that can prevent people with substance use disorder from asking for help. How to support your loved ones with the 4 pillars of recovery. Sometimes I wonder, what’s harder… struggling with addiction, or watching someone you love struggle and feeling totally helpless? And maybe we can’t speed up someone’s lessons. Maybe that’s not how it works. What’s trickier is that often the things we do to try to help, actually make the problem worse. So what do we do? How can we help a loved one both before they’re ready to help themselves, and then when they’re starting to see a better way? That’s what we’re talking about today. Our guest is Alison Jones Webb. She’s a recovery ally, advocate, author, and seasoned public health specialist. She’s the author of Recovery Allies: How to Support Addiction Recovery and Build Recovery Friendly Communities.
