  • Motivating and inspiring

    A great podcast for everyone whether you’re in recovery, a family or someone in recovery, seeking help or just wanting inspiring stories. I listen to these episodes all day every day. Jeannine genuinely just wants to help people. Unlike others in the space Jeannine doesn’t ask you to pay for anything she’s not trying to sell you anything she’s here to share raw stories about using addiction and recovery.

  • Mom of an addict

    Jeannine, thank you so much for your podcast. I started listening from the beginning about 3 months ago. I am on Season 3 and have to say I am learning so much from your podcast on how to support my daughter and how to not enable. She is currently 12 days clean and doing good. I know this is going to be a difficult journey, but am so grateful I found your podcast to help me and her get through this unbearable disease.
