13. Parenting A Child Struggling With Addiction

In The Circle today, we are sitting with the feelings of powerlessness, worry, and fear that loved ones of those in recovery face. Ann, a member of our Recovery 2.0 program, asks… How can I stay present with my child in recovery when my own fear arises?In exploring this inquiry, we're reminded, first and foremost, that there's no stronger prayer in the universe than a mother's prayer, and that worry doesn't change outcomes – presence does.The simple fact of the matter is that we cannot control what other people do, what they think, where they go, or the decisions they make. But we can be shining examples in their life, demonstrating solutions, and victory, rather than fueling the fires of insecurity and doubt.Tommy discusses:• Why a mother’s prayer is the strongest prayer of them all• Showing up as an example of victory• Shifting your mindset to be in the solution rather than the problem• Connecting with the truth of the situation• Why presence is the key to offering effective support• Getting out of a place of worry and fearConnect with Tommy• @TommyRosen on Instagram• Tommy on Facebook• Tommy on TikTokAddiction is part of everyone’s journey, but recovery is not.
