Description

Do you long to ‘fix’ your addict or alcoholic? Are you tired of feeling alone and helpless? Would you like to leave behind the shame and judgment? Maybe even the constant worry for your safety or the safety of your children?

You’ve come to the right place! This podcast is here to offer you tools, stories, and support – reminding you that you’re not alone. We’ll provide opportunities for breakthroughs, resources to help you get the support you need, and the relief you’ve been seeking for yourself or your loved one.

I’m Jeri – the “don’t rock the boat” daughter, former co-dependent spouse, and stressed-out mom of the addicts and alcoholics in my life. For years, I was the helpless co-dependent who didn’t have the resources I so desperately needed. I read the books, prayed endlessly, and thought that if I just said or did the right thing, I could make the chaos stop.

But one day, I took the step I had been avoiding – seeking the support and healing I so desperately needed to overcome the wounds caused by this destructive disease. I discovered life-changing tools and resources, and now, I can’t wait to share them with you.

If you’re ready to hear stories of hope, help, and healing,
to learn strategies and solutions to get out of the crazy,
and to hear how others, facing similar struggles, found their breakthrough – this podcast is for you!

So grab your journal, a cup of tea, and maybe a tissue – and let’s dive in!
