She Was Her Son's Drug-Dealer? The Reality Of Addiction Cycles And Breaking Them
Today, I sit down with Jennifer Chase, a recovery coach and founder of Rise Addiction Life Coaching, who brings one of the most multi-dimensional stories of addiction I’ve ever heard. Ms. Chase has been a daughter of an alcoholic, a mother to an addicted son, and an addict herself. In this episode, we tackle addiction from every angle — the addict’s battle, the family’s trauma, and the long road toward healing together. Ms. Chase opens up about her journey from opiate addiction to discovering she was unknowingly supplying her son with drugs, and how her own recovery began not from wanting to get sober, but from wanting to stop hurting those she loved.
We talk about how addiction affects entire families, and how healing is not just for the person in recovery — it's for everyone involved. Ms. Chase breaks down what true support looks like, the myth of “tough love,” and how rescuing can often prolong addiction. She shares how her husband’s enabling role delayed her recovery, and how their marriage ultimately survived years of addiction and pain by walking through the recovery process together. We dig into the dynamics of shame, denial, codependency, and the deep need for boundaries that protect peace without punishing the addict.
This conversation is a lifeline for anyone impacted by addiction — whether you're recovering yourself or watching someone you love fight the battle. We explore relapse prevention, personal accountability, and how Ms. Chase now uses her story to coach families through the chaos. Her message is clear: the only way to change the cycle is to heal the whole system — not just the addict. From practical recovery tools to powerful truths, this episode offers hope, clarity, and a community for everyone hurting in silence.
