Vulnerability, patience and connection: Parker's recovery story
As a third-generation entrepreneur and father of three boys, Parker Stewart is used to going full speed. When it came to his addiction recovery, he learned to slow down, practice mindfulness and remain patient.
"It's okay to embrace the hardships, the tears, the frustrations, the anger the pain," he said. "Sharing that isn't a sign of weakness, it's an ability to draw strength from others."
Q: Someone I love suffers from addiction. What's your advice for navigating the holidays?
A: First and foremost, structure has made our holidays go smoother. For example, we play a family soccer game every Thanksgiving. We go bowling, attend local events – we plan activities with a focus on being active and together, rather than drinking alcohol.
