We often had police at our door because my husband seemed to thrive on fighting. I think he was addicted to that as he was to drinking, and so we'd often have police at our door and nothing, in my opinion, seemed to stop him- nothing.

In this episode of 'Recovery Talks', Clare Kennedy sits down with Kevin and Julie from Al-Anon to share their personal experiences and hard-earned wisdom on family recovery.
