#16 Coping With My Grief About My Loved Ones Addiction

Addiction has touched the lives of both Stephanie and April. In Stephanie's family drinking a lot of booze was just what happened. On holidays everyone drank, on the weekend everyone drank and everyday after work Stephanie's father drank lots of beer. So coping with addiction has been a research project of Stephanie's for decades. Stephanie even did her own research by drinking too much and finding herself in AA in her 24th year. Stephanie had been free of the drink since 2014 and is thriving in soberity!

In April's life she has a family member who is addicted to drugs and she has been helped by Al-anon & Melody Beattie both of which have helped her heal her codependent issues.

Trigger warning! We are going to talk about addiction!

Stephanie and April hope to inspire you to heal and feel your grief.
