Having a child with an addiction issue is not a parenting malfunction, it's a disease, it's a demise.
Imagine growing up in a home shadowed by alcoholism, vowing never to follow that path, only to find yourself entangled in the same struggle. This is Laura Cook Boldt's story. In this episode of Sober Nation FM, Laura candidly recounts her journey from childhood in an alcoholic family to her own battles with excessive drinking. She speaks of the deep-seated fear and denial that kept her from facing her problem, even as she built a career and started a family.
Laura shares a pivotal moment when she woke up to find her car totaled in the driveway, with no memory of how it got there. This near-tragic event was her wake-up call, leading her to seek help from friends in recovery. With the support of her loved ones, especially her husband who understood her struggles, Laura began her path to sobriety.
Years into her recovery, Laura co-authored a book with her son Tom, detailing their parallel journeys through addiction and healing. This episode is not just about Laura's fight against alcohol but also about the shame and guilt that often accompany addiction. Laura’s story is a testament to the power of support and the transformative journey of recovery. Tune in to hear how sobriety has brought her personal growth and a renewed zest for life.
