Episode 10: Bad Trying To Get Good with guest co-host Laurie Jones

Picture this: a nun with a gambling problem, a police officer father pulling over his own daughter, and the tricky terrain of workaholism. In this episode of 'Liars, Thieves, Gluttons & Whores', host Nanci Adair teams up again with guest co-host Laurie Jones to revisit Sister Ellen's jaw-dropping story. The nun who gambled away all the convent's money is back, and this time, they dig deeper into her journey of confronting her actions and the powerful grip of addiction.

But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Laurie opens up about her own battles with alcohol, cigarettes, and an addiction that's often celebrated rather than condemned—workaholism. How do you tackle an addiction that's socially accepted and even rewarded? Laurie shares her experiences and seeks Nanci's professional take on the age-old advice of tackling one addiction at a time.

As if that weren't enough, Laurie recounts a hair-raising moment when she was pulled over by her own father while driving with open alcohol in the car. The episode wraps up with a heartwarming reflection from Nanci on her belief that people are inherently good and strive to be better. It's a rollercoaster of emotions, insights, and raw honesty that makes you ponder the complexities of addiction and recovery.
