Mothers of addicted and alcoholic children share a deep connection—one that is rarely understood by anyone who hasn’t experienced a similar path. Sharing our perspectives helps us all grow stronger, together. Now expanded with new meditations to offer even more support and help us all grow, stronger, together.  

This expanded second edition of Tending Dandelions continues the tradition of Hazelden’s series of daily readings by providing moments of recognition, confession, and healing for those who realize that recovery rarely follows a neat or comfortable path. Along the way, we plant beautiful roses only to be injured by their thorns, and we pull up unwanted dandelions that, at times, are our only source of wishes.

By sharing the realities we never expected our families to face, mothers of addicted children support each other through experiences that can only be feared and imagined by others. From our shared struggles emerge opportunities for personal growth.

Now with over 100 additional meditations, the beloved Tending Dandelions can now be used as a daily tool—becoming an even more vital source of wisdom, support, and strength to help mothers begin and sustain their own journey of recovery.
