This podcast is about raising awareness about the impact of alcohol misuse on families, educating everyone about alcohol addiction, discussing news and views to change perceptions and judgements. Changing and influencing social norms. Opening the conversation outside of the immediate issue and into society. There are no limits of discussion that we wouldn't take part in and encourage others to do the same. Alcoholism needs to be an education to others.
Jo and Paula are sisters who share the two roads they've travelled through alcohol misuse.
This is the very last podcast episode of the series and for the time being. Paula and Jo have decided to take a break from podcasting. It seemed appropriate to end on an episode about the journey of recovery from active use to abstinence.
The only person that Paula and Jo wanted to interview was Harry, if you have been following the podcast, you'll know that Harry was the very first person Paula and Jo interviewed, so it seemed reminiscent of the first ever episode.
Harry has now been in recovery since 18th March 2019, so around 18 months. He now enjoys better health and is sleeping a lot better, he now has a relationship with his children, lives in a nice place, he has his finances under control and he is able to engage with people and behave in a polite way. Many of these things were not possible when Harry was deep into his alcohol addiction.
He has come a long way and is able to enjoy his hobbies and is actively involved with Alcoholics Anonymous on a daily basis, who support him in his recovery.
The journey of recovery is one that has peaks and troughs, there is much to learn if you want to ensure you keep your sobriety and many stop and start over the years. Thankfully Harry is here to tell Jo and Paula about his experience, so let's hear how's he's got on since his interview last year.

031 - Rebuilding Broken Relationships
Welcome to the second to last episode of the series. In this episode Paula and Jo are talking to Elliott about repairing broken relationships. Something that many families of drinkers find very difficult to do.
When you live with or are affected by someone's drinking, you endure a lot of heartache and heartbreak. Watching someone you love destroy themselves with alcohol, being let down, lied to, manipulated and someone's physically and mentally abused.
You can understand then why for some families, it seems like an impossible task to find forgiveness and when relationships break down, it can be a long process to repair them.
Elliot joins in the conversation today to share his story of how he rebuilt the relationship with his Dad, after many years of alcohol abuse. He now enjoys a sober life and they have rekindled a new relationship.

030 - Alcohol and spirituality
Paula and Jo will be chatting to Christine in this episode, all about alcohol and spirituality. You might think the two couldn't be more opposite ends but when people are in recovery it's the ONE thing that can keep them sane.
Lots of people have misconceptions about Alcoholics Anonymous and that the group is a cult and very much focused in religion. It isn't either of those things. People fear what they don't know.
In this episode Jo and Paula will discuss with Christine how her drinking impacted on her spirituality, what the connection is between AA and spirituality and comparing the two as well as barriers to spirituality.
