Allison O’Brien and her husband were faced with an extremely difficult situation when their youngest daughter became addicted to alcohol in her late 20’s.
After a few unsuccessful attempts at rehab, she reverted to her old ways. Allison and her husband would receive phone calls from the ER saying their daughter may not make it – it was their worst nightmare.
Eventually, the O’Brien’s learned about HOPE Sheds Light through their church. They began going to support group sessions and started seeing a therapist. The nonprofit helped them find the strength they needed, as well as navigate the situation with their daughter in a way that would not enable her behavior.
Helping guide their daughter to recovery was a long and difficult journey. Allison turned to faith and is grateful for the support of family and friends during that time.
