Addiction Makes Three

78 - Acknowledging the Year You’ve Survived


Listen Later

If you’ve spent the past year holding everything together while your loved one's addiction has chipped away at your energy, your hope, and your sense of self, this episode is for you.


In this raw, honest conversation, we look back at the year you’ve survived.


Not minimising it.

Not pretending it was “fine.”

Not brushing it off because “it used to be worse.”


This episode gently and truthfully names what you’ve been carrying:

• The constant tension in the home

• The emotional load of parenting alone

• The hypervigilance that has become your second skin

• The grief for the relationship you hoped for

• The exhaustion of managing everyone’s feelings but your own

• The loneliness of knowing most people will never understand this life


You are not dramatic.

You are not “overreacting.”


You are a human who has been living in survival mode for far too long.
