Readings for Moms of Addicts
Readings for Moms of Addicts is an iPhone app developed by Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation. Designed for mothers with addicted children, this app offers a collection of 146 new readings that address the complex emotions and challenges faced by mothers in this situation.
Sandra Swenson, the author of the beloved meditation book Tending Dandelions, provides honest and heartfelt readings that touch on topics such as codependency, shame, grief, and the process of letting go without giving up. These readings serve as a reminder that mothers in similar circumstances are not alone in their journey.
The app offers several convenient features, including the ability to automatically view a new reading each day, search for specific keywords, browse readings by title or stage of the recovery journey, and mark favorite readings for quick access. Additionally, users can receive daily notifications to remind them to read a new passage and easily share their favorite readings with other moms via text or email.
Whether used in support groups or for personal reflection, Readings for Moms of Addicts provides a valuable resource for mothers seeking connection, motivation, and understanding in their challenging journey of loving a child with addiction.
