Unfortunately, you know, it took tragedy to really bring me out of it.
Addiction doesn't just impact the person struggling with it; it ripples through families, leaving a lasting mark.

Deborah, a mother and writer, shares the poignant tale of her family's battle with addiction, as captured in her daughter's diary and her sons' experiences.
Nadia, a high-profile lawyer and mother of three, speaks candidly about her own recovery journey, dealing with depression, PTSD, and chronic pain. She also highlights the insights from her memoir, 'Home is Within You'. Anita, who has over a decade of sobriety under her belt, discusses her YouTube channel 'Anita Lee – Candidly', which offers support to those grappling with alcoholism and their families.
The panel dives deep into the challenges of setting boundaries, enabling behaviors, and finding opportunities for healing.
