Julie’s daughter is in recovery from opioid addiction.

Prior to her own daughter’s experience, Julie says she was guilty of much of the same negativity and stigma that many people hold about people with addiction.

Julie went to a support group to learn how to best support her daughter’s recovery journey, and began to unlearn some of the language she had been using about addiction. While she never meant to offend her daughter, Julie had no idea the words she was using came off as hurtful or judgmental. Now, Julie says, her daughter is much more open with her — and together they can focus on solutions and moving forward, versus what may have happened in the past.

Today, Julie’s daughter has been accepted into college, starts a new job soon, and is moving into her own apartment.

Life is bright on the other side of addiction. #lifeunitesus
