I’m incredibly grateful to have found this podcast recently, I feel at home here. I’m flying through these episodes.. Thanks Early, the guests and all those that make this show so special! ♥️
Really loved this episode with Amber and Early! They break down why we sometimes end up looking like the “bad guy” to our addicted loved ones, even when we’re just trying to help. Their explanations were super clear and honestly made so much sense. Definitely worth a listen!
While some of these episodes have some triggers, I would say that this show is very insightful and diverse. These interviews are of real people who share their lived experiences and Early does a great job at asking questions without judgement. If you are in recovery or just curious about sobriety and need some inspiration, you’re in the right place!
