In this engaging episode of Recovery Radio Network, Lucia C. takes the stage as an ACA (Adult Children of Alcoholics) speaker to share her journey and insights into the critical role of the 'inner family' in recovery. Lucia's talk is a deep dive into understanding the 'critical parent' within us all, and how it can hinder our path to healing if not addressed properly.
