This week we’re re-releasing the very first ever episode. It’s an oldie, but a goodie. And here’s the truth: when you love someone suffering from addiction, these tips are always helpful, no matter how ‘new’ or ‘old’ they are.
In this episode Michelle shares helpful tips about why you still love them, and why that’s totally okay. Even a well meaning friend or family member may not get it. They just may not understand. And that’s okay too. Because you have this community here. And it’s full of women that actually do understand. We get it, because we’re either there in the same situation right now, or we were at one time in our life.
And it’s not easy. So please, please rely on this community when you need an understanding ear and encouraging words.
