Some people find The Morning Call because theywant to stop drinking. Some find it because they want to live more fully. And some find it because someone they loveddied from addiction — and they are still carrying the blame. This episode is for you. If you’ve ever replayed conversations… If you’ve ever wondered what you should have said… If you’ve ever thought, “If I had just tried harder…”

Hear this: You did not fail them. You did not miss a magic sentence. You did not cause their addiction. You could not have cured it. Addiction does not respond to love, loyalty, sacrifice, or devotion — and the “what if” is its final cruel trick onfamilies. In this Morning Call, Sue speaks directly to those who loved someone with addiction and have been quietly carrying guiltthat was never theirs. This is about grief. About truth. About putting down what was never yours to hold. And choosing life.
