Would breaking family alcohol patterns change the future of your family? Our guest today, Janine, understands this struggle all too well. Growing up, alcohol was a constant presence, no matter which side of her family you looked upon. Janine saw firsthand how alcohol can be a seemingly normal coping mechanism, but it wasn't until it impacted her own life and the well-being of her daughter that she knew something had to change.
