This episode explores the sometimes uncomfortable topic of parents' drinking when they have a son or daughter struggling with substances, and provides non-judgmental information and ideas on how to make a change if you decide it's something you want to try.
When your child is struggling with substance abuse, it's natural to reach for a glass of wine to cope with the stress. But have you ever wondered if your drinking might be doing more harm than good?

From creating new routines and finding healthier coping mechanisms to understanding the benefits of an alcohol-free lifestyle, they provide a roadmap for parents who are ready to make a change.
