I remember when my partner went through Maggie's... I got to witness some of that, and it was beautiful. It was beautiful to watch and use you for an example, you know, because a lot of times that's... when the family members come in here, that's one of their biggest fears, and they always look at us like we're crazy when we tell them it's okay it can be a part of recovery and they're going to come back stronger.
In this heartwarming episode of The Magdalen House Podcast, host Laurie Evans sits down with Judy Cogan and her daughter, Charlotte, to discuss their intertwined paths of recovery from alcoholism.
