Summer temptations can present a challenge to sobriety, but when those in recovery utilize support and are willing to make the necessary changes, they can look forward to a summer filled with positive experiences, healthy connections and long-lasting memories. Kevin Neuman, LMSW, CAADC, shares six tips to help support a sober summer!

Here's how moms of addicted sons or daughters finally set "peaceful" but "powerful" boundaries - to end the worry and constant fighting. I’m Barbara and I’ve spent years showing thousands of other moms how to “work miracles” with their children. Along my journey, I’ve served with brilliant clinicians, I’ve earned professional certifications… But my biggest (and most surprising) lessons… ...came from the pain and frustration I faced with my own addicted son. See, I remember the calls late at night to go pick him up. I remember the shock of realizing what my baby boy had become. I could tell stories about police visits, strangers in my house, stolen belongings… ...and the worry that haunted me almost every night. But honestly, the real pain was that I just didn’t know WHAT TO DO. Believe me, I read everything I could get my hands on. I went to the support groups. They all tell us to stop “enabling” our children and to “set boundaries.” The problem is absolutely no one tells us HOW to actually do that. I tried setting boundaries, but he either ignored them or I didn’t know how to follow through. They just created arguments… and they certainly weren’t effective. I tried making rules. I tried laying down penalties… Nothing changed. The nightmare continued. But then a wise clinician opened my eyes. She showed me the REAL root of the issue. (and it changed everything for me). See, mothers are wired to love our kids a certain way. And that’s great for our non-addicted children. But it’s the exact OPPOSITE of what an addicted child needs. Let me be clear - our addicted children still need our love… They just need to be “loved another way.” So I started making bold changes in how I treated my son. Not enabling. Not abandoning. And I was finally setting boundaries that work. “Peaceful” boundaries… but “powerful” boundaries. I was no longer facing the manipulation, the constant chaos, and the worry. Not only did this give me back my own life, peace, and joy again… It changed my son. He chose recovery! Today my son has a promising career, and I’m so proud of the mature and responsible man he’s become. He is the first to say that the shift in ME… ...is the single biggest thing that allowed HIM to choose recovery. And after discovering how to love my son in the way he needed… ...I am passionate about bringing this message to the mothers of other addicted sons and daughters out there. That’s why I’ve put together a workshop on my three-step formula to “Love Another Way.” I fully believe this information is what’s missing for many families. Mothers constantly tell me this could have saved them years of heartache. In fact, a few parents were recently talking to my son about how he turned his life around. They asked what they could do to help their own children during the darkest nights. His answer? “Listen to my mom.” Click the link below and sign up for this free confidential workshop. go.livewellandfully.com/3-secrets-fb64-fb/

"I hope it gives you hope as others stories have done for me. We all know the horrors of this... but there is great hope!" ~ Sue P. Sue's story of supporting her daughter through detox brings up an often 'counterintuitive' approach that most argue violates the "Mom Code" We'll let you decide. Here's the rest of her story below as posted verbatim inside our private group. "My daughter safely checked into detox today (and it was a nail biter for me!) and she said she is staying for rehab too! This follows 13 months of turmoil and relapse, which follows 4-5 years of chaos, loss, addiction. Several rehabs. There has been change talk, alternating with denial for weeks now. She did it. She arranged it. She got there. She likened her life to being like the teacup ride. “I’m spinning in all different directions, and I want to get off this ride.” She said there is nothing holding her back now—no job to get back to, no relationship, no real home, no true friends. She says she is broken. I wanted to fly there, to soothe her, make her feel loved, to give her hope, etc etc. . What we all have done over and over…. But I had to rely on all the things I’ve learned in this program. I reviewed stages of change over and over until i believed that the catalyst to move from contemplation to determination to action is negative consequences. I had to let her stay in that darkness and had to hope, pray & trust that what I’ve learned is true. I knew I couldn’t continue to do what I’ve always done… I watched a show 2 nights ago that told the story of a family of eagles. The parents carefully built the nest and cared for the egg. They fed the baby until she could feed herself. They brought her food and she grew. When she was almost as big as them, they started bringing food less often. Then they stopped. She called for them, she scanned the sky looking for them and they didn’t come… She started flapping her wings and they grew stronger. She learned she could stand on a branch and flap. She grew stronger and could jump 6in off the branch and flap. Still, she called for them. They didn’t come. One day, she flew to the next tree. If her parents had continued to feed her, she may never have learned to fly. That lesson helped me so much and I’ve thought of it often these last 2 days. My daughter was in a dark place. She was crying and broken for months. I had to let her stay there. Without abandoning her, while loving her another way. I know this fight is not over. You are all true warriors and together we are changing our lives 1 decision, 1 conversation (& lots of duct tape!), 1 pocket of joy at a time. I cherish you and am grateful! ~Sue P. go.livewellandfully.com/govip
