Advocate for Prevention. Most of us in this forum have experienced the pain of substance use and behavioral problems. We should be strong advocates for Prevention. Prevention not only helps those behind us who will travel the same dangerous pathways, but the tools, skills, and mindset associated with Prevention are the same tools that destroy the threat of relapse: share and benefit.

Asking the question, Disease or Choice. This phrase is the Substance Use version of the Chicken or the Egg. Can you have one without the other? Does it even matter? Is there an ultimate answer?

Lets talk about this post:
Your family must adopt a determined outcome mindset, seeing and feeling, and only give life to the results you want. Failure is not a viable option anyway. Make the only real goal the most significant goal you can imagine. Failure is not a feasible option. We accept the pain without question, but we freely question our rights to happiness.

A life map is a set of beliefs that point to a destination. These beliefs can be true or false, but the map does not care. In this episode, we will tell you and your child how to see the map for what it is and eventually learn how to erase the old map and create a new one with your chosen destination.

There is no room for failure in your child's Recovery. Today, I want to talk about the elephant in the room. All statistics and horror stories point to failure having the upper hand in the recovery game. Like most things, it is a mindset, but whenever there is more than one party involved, the mindset is very complicated. It is like whack a mole. As soon as you get two, the third one rears up its ugly head. The importance of plan, direction, and momentum is so very important.

Welcome back to "Parenting Your Child in Recovery". Today, we want to talk about what we think is the biggest lie told to you by the recovery community ( Treatment systems and treatment professionals). Yes, they know a lot of facts, but what they don't know is your child. So often, they will attempt to impress you with facts, figures, and statistics, and you are talked down to if you question them. It is time for you to understand you have the big megaphone in the room. Learn to use it. 

I teach parents of young adults in recovery the skills they need to support their child's continued sobriety
