Our Side of Addiction is a podcast for the people who love someone struggling with addiction and often feel overlooked in the process.
Hosted by an addiction recovery coach who specializes in supporting family members, this show speaks directly to parents, siblings, partners, and friends walking a path that’s confusing, painful, and rarely talked about honestly. The host brings both professional experience and lived reality: she lost her younger sister to addiction and facilitates meetings at an addiction rehabilitation center.
Each episode explores the family side of addiction.
Ever wonder why your addict won't just stop? Why they won't stop for you? Why you aren't important enough or why they don't love you enough?
When you love an addict, it's distressing and confusing. The biggest factor that makes this worse is not knowing more about the beast of addiction.
In this episode, we explain exactly why your love or relationship will never be enough for an addict to get help and what that means for you.
