Addiction is something that affects millions of families throughout the world. Parents that have a child struggling with any type of addiction want to find an answer to the most important question, how can I help my child break free of this?

That is why I am so excited to have Barbara Decker back on The Warfare Parenting Podcast. Barbara breaks down the "whys" behind addiction and why it can be such a devistating illness on both the child and their family. She explains how we can begin influencing our loved one towards finding the help that they need while also setting healthy boundaries for ourselves.

Barbara's discussion today is truly life changing for families that have an addictive child. If you would like to learn more about Barbara's ministry, watch a free webinar or look inside a live coaching call, visit her website: www.livewellandfully.com

What does it mean to live well and fully? To see rebirth in your child's struggle with addiction and to feel that recovery for yourself as a parent? That's exactly what our guest, Barbara Decker, shares with us on today's episode. Barbara shares her own story about her son Eric's battle with addiction. Desperate for help, she pleaded with a behavioral therapist to assist her son. What he told her completely changed how she approached her son’s addiction: “There’s nothing you can do that will help your son. Only he can choose recovery.”

After this realization, Barbara began looking inward and working to improve herself. While this seemed counterproductive at first, she discovered that these changes in her own life created a positive change in Eric's as well. Barbara is now proud to say that Eric has now been sober for almost five years with no relapses. Now Barbara wants to break down her process and explain why a prodigal child doesn't have to affect a parent's life in a negative way, but rather can be an opportunity for self growth that leaves lasting results for them and their family.
