I guess, like a lot of it, I think would just have to be that the parts about my dad that I love and the things about him that make him who he is- which to me was the worst part about him drinking- is that I didn't feel like my dad was who he was when he was drinking.
Family can be a source of immense joy, but also profound struggle, especially when addiction is involved. In this heartfelt episode of 'Monday State of Mind,' host Michael Arnold sits down with Rachel Hoovler to discuss her personal journey with a family member battling alcohol addiction during her teenage years. Rachel opens up about the confusion and pain she felt, not understanding why her loved one was causing so much hurt.
Her candid reflections offer a raw look into the emotional turmoil families face in such situations. But it's not all about the struggle. Rachel also shares her father's path to sobriety, including his involvement in AA meetings and the difficult yet crucial process of rebuilding trust and forgiveness. She highlights the pivotal role of therapy and support systems, not just for those struggling with addiction but for their families as well.
This episode is a touching reminder of the power of healing and the importance of seeking help. If you've ever wondered how addiction impacts family dynamics or how to support a loved one through recovery, Rachel's story offers both insight and hope.
