  • So glad I found this podcast! 🙌

    I am so thankful for having found this podcast. I have felt very alone for a long time in my struggle with my loved one and his addictions. I finally feel like I have some tools by listening to your suggestions and feel better already knowing that there are ways different than how I have been coping which gives me hope and a new found strength. Thank you so very much 💞

  • Invaluable help

    These podcasts have been a lifeline for me, especially in recognizing my part, what I do that has been not only unhelpful, but actually hurtful, even with the best of intentions. I can’t recommend them enough

  • Hope rediscovered…

    I found my way to CRAFT through a SMART Recovery Family & Friends group in Australia. I’ve taken a deep deep dive, learned so much through these episodes - and found hope again through stories, and guidance that there is another way we can try to live with and beyond this issue.

I buy books. I’m now a parent peer support facilitator and YOU, Allies in Recovery are the breeze in my sail that started this parental healing journey as I love through the pain of other’s choices and live my day (mostly!) well. Your work is appreciated. Please don’t stop helping other parents. Three of my... more

  • Helpful show!

    I really like your show. I have learned a lot. But not sure about Bill Carruthers long winded speech. Your listeners are here to learn - we don’t need the motivational speech and typical jargon. I appreciate the other episodes much more where talk about problems and their solutions and the skills we can use.
