We teach people how to treat us, and so it's just like that's right, like we do.
Imagine growing up in a home where alcohol was as common as water. That's the reality Claire shares in this episode of 'Living With an Alcoholic'. Hosted by Logan, Claire opens up about her childhood in a family where drinking was the norm and how it shaped her life. From her mother's casual attitude towards pills to the social acceptance of alcohol, Claire paints a vivid picture of the challenges she faced.
Despite being the youngest and somewhat shielded from the worst, the effects of addiction still left their mark on her relationships and self-worth. Claire's journey didn't stop there; she found solace and guidance in Al-Anon meetings. She talks about how these meetings helped her set boundaries and understand how to teach people to treat her with respect. Claire also shares the benefits of attending meetings via Zoom, making support more accessible than ever.
Though she hasn't started working the steps yet, Claire acknowledges the importance of doing so for long-term recovery. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of resilience, support, and the ongoing journey of living with the shadows of alcoholism.
