Have you ever stopped and wondered who you would be if addiction wasn't part of your life anymore?

Not because you don't love your person.

But because addiction has taken up so much space in your life that you've lost touch with yourself.

In this episode, we're talking about the quiet loss of identity that can happen when you've spent years focused on someone else's drinking, drug use, recovery, choices and wellbeing.

We chat about...

💛 Why addiction can slowly become part of your identity

💛 Why peace can feel scarier than chaos

💛 The labels many loved ones unknowingly carry

💛 Grieving the version of yourself you feel you've lost

💛 How to begin reconnecting with yourself again

If you've ever thought:

"I think I've lost myself in this."

This episode is for you.
