Summary

Recovering addict and adult child Francisco C. joins us today to discuss the gifts of adult child recovery, He shares about coming to America from Mexico at the age of 5, growing up with a dry drunk father and a codependent mother, getting sober at 23, hitting his adult child bottom at 4 years sober, and and how he went from being a high school drop-out to getting his PhD at an Ivy League school. Francisco is the prime example of what happens when an adult child does the hard work to heal the unresolved past.
