Families Navigating Addiction & Recovery


Oct 10, 2018

“While they are still with you, you let them know you love them. You let them know you believe that they can get well. That’s probably the only thing you can help with because we are really pretty powerless.”

First, Maureen Cavanaugh, Founder and President of Magnolia New Beginnings and author, is a mother of four. When raising her children, she did everything by the book. Maureen brought her children to church, they had family meals together, her children held jobs, they knew that they were loved, and yet her daughter stumbled into substance abuse. While missing the signs of her own daughters’ addiction, she has a determination to not allow another family to fall victim to this life-altering disease. Today, her daughter faces struggles but has been successful and doing fantastic for the last 14 months! Tune in as Maureen shares with Jeff the little warning signs and how to face them head on, the dire need to get rid of the shame and stigma around addiction, the value of reaching out and having support, and how Magnolia New Beginnings helps connect those in need with the right resources to guide them through the chaos.
