I’m Jonathan Ashworth, 

As a politician, in parliament I championed the cause of COAs, the children of alcoholics. It opened up a word of voices to me I’d never heard before. 

Now it’s my mission to share real stories from people from all walks of life affected by parental addiction. 

I know how healing it can be to find a common thread of fellow feeling. I know how painful it be to feel alone. 

And through these conversations I want to shine a light on experiences too often kept in the shadows. 

Come with me on this journey to explore the challenges, the hope, and the healing. This is, ‘In their Words: COA Lives.’
