You're listening to the Love Over Addiction Podcast.

Hello, guys. How are you?

Usually you can hear birds in my background

because I tend to record these while pacing around my backyard.

But today you actually might hear the laundry alarm go off

because all my kids are home for summer.

Some of them are back from college and I will tell you,

I will tell you, I have never done so much laundry in all of my life.

And I only have one washer and dryer.

So anyways, you will hear me because I am living a real life

while I work and write in my office, which is conveniently in my laundry room.

Because that's how much laundry I do.

Anyways, I want to talk about,

actually, let me start with what I'm going to talk about,

but then I want to tell you a quick story because I was really excited to tell you the story.

So today's episode, we're going to talk about a question I get a lot,

which is how do you get past the constant fear that something bad will happen to your loved one?

Whether that's death or an overdose and especially if you ask them to leave.

I think that's a really great question.

So that's what we're going to talk about today is how to go get over our fears of something bad happening.

But before I get there, I want to talk about a story that was slightly embarrassing for me.

So we have a container store.
