Finding Light in the Storm: Hope and Healing When Loving Someone with Addiction

It's not about getting them into rehab, convincing them to go to AA meetings, or getting them to admit how much they've had to drink or use drugs. It's about getting yourself to your healthiest, best self, so that you can be an inspiration to those in your family.

Michelle uses vivid metaphors to paint a picture of her experience, likening it to being on a boat in the middle of a storm, endlessly bailing out water to keep from sinking.
