The flipside of addiction

So many times, the addict is the only one talked about. When someone comes out of a life of addiction, we ask them to speak somewhere, or we are so overwhelmed with joy for them and rightfully so. So few step into a life of recovery, in fact if you are like me you know plenty who have died in their addiction. But what about the families who have had to endure something that they never asked for? How about the mother waiting on a call, what about the father that can never be a grandfather because now he has to be the disciplinarian, what about the son who never has his dad at a single school event? Today on 4mics 13teeth 1anklemonitor Sheree and Donna talk about the effects on the family. We will be doing more of these in the future because addiction affects more than the addict.
