I can no longer give you money to get high because I think I'm going to help keep you safe, sort of like what I did with you.
Family ties can be both a source of strength and a source of pain, especially when addiction is involved. In this heartfelt episode of 'How I Met My Mother, Sober', Julianne and Donna welcome a very special guest: Nina, Julianne's sister and Donna's daughter. Together, they dive deep into the raw and often painful memories of living with addiction in the family.
From traumatic experiences to the ongoing process of recovery, this episode offers a candid look at how addiction affects not just the individual, but everyone around them. Nina shares her perspective on what it was like to lose her sister to addiction and how she coped during those dark times. The trio also discusses the lasting impact of these experiences on their trauma responses today.
But it's not all heavy; there are moments of hope and inspiration as they talk about setting boundaries, managing triggers, and the journey towards healing. They even touch on lighter topics like non-traditional weddings and navigating a Cali-sober lifestyle. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who has been touched by addiction or is looking for ways to support a loved one through their recovery.
It's a powerful reminder that healing is possible, especially when you have the support of your family.
