I think it's just important to remember that it's a family disease. And so, you know, it's not just about the person that's drinking. It's about the whole family dynamic and how that plays out.
Imagine celebrating Father's Day with a raw and heartfelt conversation about alcoholism. That's exactly what happens in this episode of 'The Bubble Hour'. Hosts Jean McCarthy and Amanda bring a special guest to the show—Amanda's father, Frank F., who is also in recovery. Frank opens up about his personal battle with alcoholism and the heart-wrenching experience of watching his daughter show signs of following the same path.
This episode is a candid exploration of how alcoholism affects not just the individual, but the entire family. Frank's story serves as a poignant reminder that while alcoholism is often termed a 'family disease', families can indeed heal and recover together. Beyond sharing his journey, Frank touches on the critical role of family support in recovery. He also highlights how volunteering has been a cornerstone in his own sobriety, offering a sense of purpose and a way to give back.
Whether you're someone grappling with addiction or a family member seeking to understand and support a loved one, this episode offers invaluable insights and a message of hope. Tune in for an honest, compassionate discussion that underscores the importance of community and familial bonds in the recovery journey.
