Summary

This week I’m talking to Kristi Tanner, and wow, did we have one of those conversations where you start nodding so hard you practically sprain your neck. Kristi walks me through the long, messy road from party girl to mommy-wine survival mode to full-blown chaos, complete with blackouts, denial, rehab, hiding bottles, and trying to convince herself she just needed better “rules.” We talk about how alcohol can make you feel connected right up until it blows your life apart, and how easy it is to confuse shame with proof that you’re just a bad person.

This is Part One. Listen to Part Two on last week's Drunk-ish podcast feed.
