Why I Haven’t Shared These Stories (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I have been sitting with the deaths of Hayden Panettiere and Presley Gerber for several days now. I kept reading the articles and thinking I should share them here, but every time I went to post one, I stopped. These stories are so close to what many families in this group have lived, yet when celebrities die, suddenly there is enormous attention on relapse, treatment, toxicology and what went wrong. Some of the coverage has also been difficult for me to read because of the way relapse is talked
What Does One Year Mean When Recovery Did Not Start One Year Ago? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Molly recently reached one year without using illicit drugs. I have wanted to write about it, but I kept getting stuck on how to tell the story because calling this her “one year of recovery” does not feel quite right.

More than 60,000 people participated. It is also very easy to misread. The survey measures past month use, past year use, misuse and substance use disorders separately. A number can move slightly from
What Trauma Makes Impossible (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Note from Kathleen:Every so often, I come across a piece of writing that says something so clearly I simply want to share it.This guest essay is by my friend Susan Ousterman, founder of the Vilomah Foundation https://www.vilomahfoundation.com/ an organization dedicated to supporting parents after the death of a child.While Susan writes from the experience of losing her son, Tyler, her message reaches far beyond grief. She reminds us that trauma changes the brain, often impairing the very abiliti
