Mrs. L's Journey: Love, Addiction, and Finding Strength on Boy Problems Podcast

I felt so intertwined with my partner's success, or whatever the definition of success was at the time, that, like my self-value and the way I felt about my future was always determined by whether or not he was doing the quote unquote right thing or if he was getting better, whatever that meant at the time.
Ever wondered how to cope when someone you love is battling addiction? In this episode of the Boy Problems Podcast, the hosts welcome Mrs. L from @addictionmakesthree to share her deeply personal story. Mrs. L opens up about her experiences with addiction, not as the person struggling, but as someone who loves and supports an addict.
She talks about the initial realization that addiction was a significant issue in her life, the tough choices she had to make, and the boundaries she set to protect her own well-being. Her candid discussion offers a raw and honest look at the emotional rollercoaster that comes with loving someone in recovery. Mrs. L also highlights the importance of self-care and finding support in unexpected places.
She has built a community through her Instagram account, offering a safe space for others going through similar experiences. Her story is not just about the struggles but also about the hope and personal growth that can come from such challenging circumstances. This episode is a must-listen for anyone dealing with addiction in their family or close circle, providing valuable insights and a sense of solidarity.
