Summary

After years of relapses, Brent thought his partner was sober...until he found his meth pipe. Nzinga talks one-on-one with Brent to strategize how to be supportive while also working through his fears for his partner’s life. Another listener says, “The only infidelity I fear is heroin and fentanyl” and hopes to set healthy boundaries between her and her partner as they both go through recovery. And what about codependency? Can you be addicted to bad relationships? This week, we’re answering all your questions on love (spoiler alert: everyone’s getting a therapist)

Please note, In Recovery contains mature themes and may not be appropriate for all listeners.
