Addressing addiction is a difficult but essential change for a healthier life, but what if you are a witness to a loved one's addiction? In this interview with Laura Cook Boldt, author of Unraveled: A Mother and Son Story of Addiction and Redemption, we discuss her own journey to sobriety and her experience as a mother witnessing her son's addiction and path to sobriety. Laura provides an honest, vulnerable, and at times, humorous look at what it means to come to terms with addiction and how we can help ourselves and others' in productive ways. We discuss:
- How can you take care of yourself and keep healthy boundaries when someone you know is facing addiction?
- What are essential questions to ask if you are wondering about your own tendencies towards addiction?
- What are some of the first steps that those facing addiction or living with an addict can take to step towards sobriety?
