This week we speak with a dear friend about growing up with a parent in addiction and the things she does now to stay sober herself.

Kim and Chris take this episode to talk how mental health plays a role in addiction, and take questions from readers.

Kim talks about the effect Chris's addiction had/ has on the kids, and Chris discusses friendships and reads a text exchange during his downfall.

We take a call from a family member this week to talk active addiction. 

It's been almost 4 months since recording an episode of DDGD, and I am so glad that I had my parents for our return episode.

Kim talks about how Chris's addiction effected their marriage, and Chris discusses relapse. 

Kim reads a book to Layla called "Hot Dogs Anonymous," which is a book geared to help children understand addiction. Hope you enjoy.

Kim and Chris answer questions about addiction and talk about Chris's time in treatment. 

Kim and Chris discuss youth and adolescence, and how traumatic events can make you more susceptible to addiction.

As some of you may have noticed, we haven't posted an episode in over 2 months.
