Right, and I think it's so beautiful about this work, I mean, and the steps are great, like in AA as well, but I just think that through adult child recovery, we really, really, really get to like figure out who the hell we are.
What happens when you mix childhood trauma with a journey towards sobriety? Andrea Ashley, the dynamic host of the 'Adult Child Podcast', opens up about her path to recovery on 'The One Day At A Time Recovery Podcast'. After getting sober in 2008, Andrea discovered the ACA program—Adult Children of Alcoholics/Dysfunctional Families—which became a game-changer in her healing process. She launched her podcast to help others navigate similar struggles and find their way to a fulfilling life.
Andrea doesn't just talk the talk; she also facilitates ACA meetings, offering a safe space for others to heal. In this episode, she shares the coping mechanisms many develop in dysfunctional homes—like people-pleasing and suppressing emotions—and how these patterns can lead to addiction and other issues in adulthood. Andrea's story is a beacon of hope, showing that these cycles can be broken.
She emphasizes the role of therapy in her journey, highlighting how it helped her identify and process her feelings. If you're ready for a change and seeking inspiration, Andrea's insights into the traits of an adult child and the power of the ACA program are not to be missed.
