Tikka B: Healing from a Family's Legacy of Addiction

I found freedom that I can be okay regardless of whether she ever apologizes, and it's not something that I need anymore, you know.
Ever wondered how the cycle of addiction impacts an entire family? In this heart-wrenching episode of The Magdalen House Podcast, Tikka B opens up about her tumultuous upbringing with an emotionally abusive, alcoholic mother. As the eldest sibling, Tikka took on the role of caregiver, trying to shield her younger siblings from the chaos that alcoholism brought into their lives.
Her story takes a gripping turn as she recounts the moment she had to ask her brother to leave their home after their mother's death, watching him spiral into addiction himself. But Tikka's story doesn't end in despair. She shares her journey towards forgiveness and healing, not just for her mother but for herself too. Tikka found solace and support through Al-Anon, a fellowship for those affected by someone else's drinking.
Her path to recovery is filled with moments of self-discovery and the hard-earned realization that she deserves love and happiness. Today, both Tikka and her brother are clean and sober, dedicating their lives to helping others find the same peace they have. This episode is a poignant reminder that recovery is possible, even when it seems out of reach.
It's perfect for anyone who has felt the ripple effects of addiction in their family or is looking for inspiration to find their own path to healing. Tune in to hear Tikka's powerful story and discover the strength that lies in forgiveness and self-love.
