EP67 Are You More Influenced by Stigma Than Science?

Living With Your Child's Addiction

Today marks one year since Helanna passed away from a fentanyl overdose. This podcast would not exist without Helanna so her interview is being released again to honor her memory. It is one of the most listened-to episodes on the podcast. Heather also shares some of the realizations she's had since Helanna passed, in an updated intro to the episode.

Original Episode Show Notes: This week I got to interview my daughter. You've been hearing my experience of her addiction so I think that it's important to hear what her experience was like.

Some of the questions I asked:

• I learned a few new things and had some realizations while listening to her insight and I ended up sharing some things I've never shared before.
• What was it like when I expected her to be ok to make me feel better instead of me being stable for her?
• What else did I do that wasn’t helpful to her?
• What did I do that was helpful to her?
• Is there anything I could have done differently to help her not struggle with addiction?
• What did she get out of using substances?
• What made her want to get sober?
• What has relapsing taught her?
• What makes her feel supported in sobriety?
