For parents of addicts, this is a MUST WATCH VIDEO! Campbell Manning (parent of 2 addicted sons and Licensed Addiction Counselor) shares her personal story of how she missed addiction twice. She first found out that one of her sons had a drug problem. Her youngest son (17 years old) had developed a full-fledged addiction to opiates before she ever knew there was a problem. Before she could even wrap her head around being the parent of an addict, Campbell got another sucker punch (from addiction).
Campbell (now an addiction counselor/family specialist) discusses how she navigated the world of addiction/recovery treatment. (What worked and what didn't)
In a surprise twist, Campbell learns that her other (older son) also had a problem with opiates. This was devastating news to her (especially after having just gone through this with her younger son).
Addiction can have a devastating effect on families, but this story has a happy ending.
In the end, Campbell decided she wanted to help other families struggling with addiction. She went back to school, got her master's degree in counseling, and now works as our family specialist at Hope For Families Recovery Center.

Big thanks to Campbell for her willingness to share her story!

@SadMother360 Год назад

Yes, thank you for putting this together Amber and thank you, Campbell, for sharing your story. It brought me so much comfort. My daughter is an addict and has been for 17 years; so tired of riding the rollercoaster.

@betsyrossispissedoff4259 Год назад

@@SadMother360 same here! It's gone from alcohol to alcohol AND crack...she's gone through detox and 5 days into a 28 day inpatient she had to leave because she said the administrator wasn't addressing advances that a male attendant supposedly made towards her....she ended up getting arrested in our home for attacking her sister and hurting me after 2 weeks of being home, and definitely drinking and using (hiding and lying). Her behavior was off the chart, came in to find her sitting naked in my ex's recliner, and it just went downhill after that....she was becoming belligerent and paranoid despite how kind we were being...now we have a protective order, and she is going directly into a step down program tomorrow....Lord knows how she will fake it through over there...she is 31 and I have been raising her almost 10 yo son since 4 months....It's been a LONG Rollercoaster ride and Idk if I can do it anymore!

I am a recovering addict and I have discovered the nature of addiction, and the discovery that saves lives is being censored by mothers who are losing their addicted children. How do you explain the truth? Addiction is the psychology of a liar. If you want we talk.

@bekrummen 3 года назад

I have 2 Addict sons ages 37 & 21. Our life is totally consumed with the worry, pain & exhaustion of what this is doing to our family. Both sons are homeless, in trouble with the law and involved with very bad & dangerous people. We just don't know what to do anymore. My husband and I can't talk anymore, we are in survival mode and trying to keep our jobs and have some kind of life with our 20 year old daughter who is still home but very depressed because of all the stress the addictions have caused our family. Where do we go from here?

@PutTheShovelDown 3 года назад

I think the first thing you should do is focus on your relationship with your husband and daughter, get yourselves in a better place emotionally and then figure out what to do about your sons.

@bethprather9241 2 года назад

@GodWokeMeUp 2 года назад

I feel your pain. My daughter is only 17 and suffering from meth/fentanyl addiction... And literally just got out of an inpatient. The first thing she did when we got home was take my phone and have someone send her an Uber. From there she left to go to Phoenix. So once again she's missing. I recently quit my job trying to get everything situated for her and thinking I would just take care of her while my husband works. We have all these bills hitting us now from the ER and inpatient. It's frustrating because I am so torn between going back to work and staying home to wait on her. It's awful. I just want to know she's alright. I understand the worry, the heartache, the stress... It's horrible.

@@GodWokeMeUp Humanity is deceived deceiving. The only common denominator between all addicts of any social background and distinction is that they are notorious liars.

@GodWokeMeUp 2 года назад

I think one of the biggest hurdles is that not every family has the financial resources to get their children into a residential rehab. I am already trying to figure out how to pay for the ER visit, inpatient, and then the residential quoted me $10K a month after insurance.... They suggested I take out my 403B....but I've already done that to pay for the other medical bills.... Then they said I could take out a 100K medical loan.... How realistic is this for people who have other children and a family to support? It's really difficult. I got her into an IOP and she is back on the streets already and she's only 17 years old... I have told the people everywhere I cannot keep her in my home and I will not fight her when I have a 5 year old to take care of... It's so frustrating.

@TYGZus777 Год назад

No one acknowledged the financial cost of medical bills. Everyone is so glib, making responses like: "my insurance pays for everything,." Well, mine never has! I could buy a very nice home and yacht with all the medical bills I've had to pay over the past couple of decades. And I'm still in debt!

@EmJade-xw3do 5 месяцев назад

you need to remember you do have a 5 year old, but you also have a 17 year old. who should never be on the streets where she could be beaten up, raped, or killed and left in the creek to die. that happened to a 15 year old in my county, she got kicked out of her house because she was an alcoholic and she got drunk, got lured into someone’s car, got raped and strangled then thrown in a lake to die. let your child live with you, be patient when they relapse, just keep a close eye, they will throw tantrums like your 5 year old for micromanaging them. but you’d rather have em mad at you instead for hating you for making them homeless. i suggest helping them lean off (doing slightly less and less drugs or drinking every day, monitoring their use to see how they improve and encouraging them to use less, eventually get them open to a rehab and go to therapy with them, you’re going to need therapy too in order to deal with what you’re going through. good luck but find your 17 year-old. you’ll regret kicking them out if they end up dead because of you.

Alcoholism on both sides of the family so not my first rodeo but painful nonetheless. Great interview and wonderful channel.

How to not fight with your son . He has gone to drs. For swollen legs. No sleep at night. He said he has to get clean. Now he said hes not going. I was on call with him and his Dr. He said when he's ready he's going to go. He text me at night that he's sick. That he's coming to the house. After a couple days he called, I told him I was sleeping I'll call him when I'm not.

They say that about 50% of all people with alcohol or drug problems had some one in there biological family with a drug or alcohol problem so it's often genetic but also very much environmental because they also say that an astounding 80% of all alcoholics and drug addicts had a parent or a parental or a household member with a alcholic problem that's definitely believable not only does the trauma of having a alcholic parental figure drive them to wanting to drink alcohol but also if they grow up with one they may actually believe that it's ok to be an alcoholic but it can also teach them that it's not ok to do that but mostly it has very nagative affects

eh they have friends with internet and easy access to drugs, your child having a phone won’t prevent addiction for as long as they didn’t ever have a phone. paying attention to their friends and managing them when they are young for as long as you can before they start rebelling.
