But I will tell you that, for me, being vulnerable, which we were in this book, is not something to be ashamed of.
Ever wondered how a family navigates the choppy waters of addiction and recovery together?

The Boldts open up about the pivotal role family support played in their healing process and the importance of vulnerability.
Laura emphasizes that showing vulnerability isn't a sign of weakness; it's a crucial step towards healing. She and Tom used writing as a therapeutic tool, transforming their experiences into a narrative that has resonated with many.

Meanwhile, Laura reflects on her own battles with addiction and how she managed to break the cycle within her family.
Their conversation highlights the significance of seeking help, maintaining open communication, and embracing vulnerability as key components in the recovery journey. If you're looking for an authentic, heartfelt discussion on addiction and recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
