I don't know that you knew you were doing the right thing, but even when you wrote to me and we sort of first started talking about this, I'm pretty sure I didn't go back and read all of our emails, but I'm pretty sure that what I would have told you would have been: you know you can't do it for her, but you can create opportunities and be loving and accepting.
Picture the intricate dance of a mother-daughter relationship, now add the complexities of addiction and recovery. In this episode of 'The Bubble Hour', Leslie and her daughter Amy open up about their intertwined journey.

Together, they paint a vivid picture of life before and after Leslie decided to quit drinking. Their story isn't just about personal battles; it's a testament to the power of community, therapy, and the unwavering support of loved ones.
