When her daughter started using Crystal Meth, Barbara Stoefen didn’t know what to do, so she did the only thing she could do – learn, get help for herself, and be open about her situation. Barbara learned early on the power of boundaries, consequences, and self-care. She quickly came to understand the only hope for her daughter’s recovery was for her daughter to experience the consequences of her choices.
It was a decision that ultimately may have saved her daughter’s life.
Please enjoy this conversation with Barbara as she shares her lessons and walks us through her journey. While Barbara’s path was not always easy, it is extremely enlightening to hear how she proactively accelerated the learning curve and engaged in helping her daughter experience the consequences of her addiction driven choices. While these are not easy decisions for any parent, Barbara certainly presents a marvelous example of the power and opportunity in these behaviors.
