For a lot of people, the very clear path towards even the notion that I can thrive in the midst of this chaos and desperation and all that goes with the disease is like: are you kidding me? And you're like: well, who is this person right exactly? I know that addict dance and I'm getting better at my side of the dance. They're learning all these different things. If I'm not learning to dance differently, then I'm not going to be of support and help to them.
Ever wondered how to cope when a loved one is battling addiction? In this episode of 'A is for Alcoholic', John sits down with KL Wells, the founder of Voices in Courage, a virtual support community for those with loved ones struggling with drugs and alcohol. KL shares her deeply personal story of dealing with her son's addiction and the challenges she faced in finding adequate support.
Frustrated by the limited resources available, she took matters into her own hands and created a safe space for others in similar situations. Through Voices in Courage, KL offers a lifeline to those navigating the tumultuous waters of trauma, grief, and addiction. She emphasizes the profound impact of community support and storytelling in healing and recovery. John and KL also discuss the limitations of traditional support groups like Al-Anon and the importance of self-care in the midst of chaos.
This episode is a heartfelt reminder of the far-reaching effects of addiction and the strength found in coming together as a community.
