If you're an alcoholic or a drinker, or an addict, or a pothead or a meth head or whatever, there are a multitude of perfectly acceptable, well-used nouns to name you.

In this episode of the HOME Podcast, Laura McKowen and Holly Whitaker take a deep dive into the term that has both defined and confined many. They share their personal experiences with the label, discussing what it meant to them before they got sober and how their perspectives have shifted over time.
