All of a sudden, the four of us are at the kitchen table and I'm talking with them and started planning things to do, and everybody- all three of them, looked at me like who is this guy?
Ever wondered how a couple can survive decades of alcoholism and co-dependence? Meet Doug and Debbie, who've been married for over 40 years. In this episode of Lifespan, Doug opens up about his long battle with alcohol addiction and the journey to recovery that followed. As a substance abuse counselor, Doug brings both professional expertise and raw personal experience to the table, making his story uniquely compelling.
On the flip side, Debbie shares her own struggles with co-dependence and the lifeline she found in Al-Anon. Her insights offer a window into the often-overlooked side of addiction—the impact on loved ones. Together, they paint a vivid picture of what it takes to navigate the stormy seas of addiction and come out stronger on the other side. This episode isn't just about Doug's recovery; it's about the resilience of relationships and the power of support systems.
If you're looking for a heartfelt, eye-opening discussion on addiction and co-dependence, this episode is a must-listen.
