Summary
This week is round two of our addiction series. In this episode, Tara Booker and Kat talk about how to live an addict well, what it’s like to be in relationship with someone who struggles with addiction, and where healthy boundaries lie in these scenarios. Nothing is black and white here, which may make things more difficult and less confusing at the same time.
