Virginia, recovering family member. Affected family members need to recover!

This week's conversation is an important one to me - the need for the family members who love someone struggling with addiction, or alcoholism to recover themselves.

If you have lived very long at all, you most likely have something to recover from. Recovery, addiction and dependency are not always about chemicals; many who are affected by someones substance use find themselves drunk on fear, sadness, drama, and strung out on on worry, obsession, control, panic and codependency.

We ALL have work to do!

Listen in as Virginia, whose husband has battled addiction, shares how his struggles illuminated her own need for a recovery process. SO IMPORTANT!!

She brings the recovery this week, tells her unique story and reveals her own "patchwork" recovery process which is not unlike my own.

What might work for one family, may not be what it takes for another. There is no one-size-fits all when it comes to improving your life and healing family patterns. I believe in the process of healing whether it's 12-step, support rooms, therapy, DBT, EMDR, books, podcasts, prayer, meditation, long walks through nature...or all of the above!

Lots of hope, encouragement, information and ideas in this week's episode!
