Growing up with a parent who struggles with addiction leaves scars that can last a lifetime. In this episode of 'Sober is Dope', host POP Buchanan shines a light on the often-overlooked challenges faced by Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACOA). With heartfelt conversations and expert insights, POP dives into the deep emotional and psychological impact of growing up in a household overshadowed by substance abuse. Did you know that nearly 8.7 million children in the U.S.

Guest speakers, including Dr. Brown, former director of The Stanford Alcoholic Clinic, offer their perspectives on how these early experiences shape adult lives. They explore the unique struggles ACOAs face, from difficulties in expressing emotions to taking on caregiver roles prematurely.
POP doesn't just highlight the problems; he also provides actionable advice for healing. Listeners will find tips on embracing joy and finding fun amidst recovery, along with the power of prayer and meditation as tools for emotional well-being. This episode is a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with the long-term effects of parental addiction, offering practical steps towards a brighter, sober future.
