Ann shares her professional background in psychology and addiction therapy within the NHS, which provided her some tools in managing Jon's condition. The conversation covers the initial challenges, the importance of early intervention and therapy, and the support systems and strategies Ann employed to assist John's recovery. Ann emphasizes the value of support groups and staying positive, while highlighting her journey from managing overwhelming emotions to achieving significant milestones in Jon's rehabilitative process.
