Every Addicted Woman
Deserves to Be a Sober Mother
Mothers and Babies
A mother’s love and care is a baby’s whole world.
Consistency of care gives baby a sense of security.
Calm and nurturing mothering cultivates emotional stability.
The disease of addiction, however, is a thief, a disrupter.
Addiction will take away what is most precious, even from the smallest child.
No one chooses to be addicted; but everyone addicted must choose to recover.
Choosing recovery is a sacred calling, especially for mother and child.
