Billy and Liz: From the Perspective of a Supporter

Rise Recover Live

#128: This week we revisit an extra special episode featuring the story of a supporter of recovery, who also happens to be Liz's biggest supporter: her husband Billy. Billy and Liz take us through their journey as a couple during the hardest years of her alcohol addiction, and some of the challenges that arose in recovery.
This episode is especially for you if you have loved someone who struggles with substance use. However, we want to stress that every story is different. If you or a loved one is experiencing addiction and your relationship looks different from what we hear about today; your experience is just as valid, and your physical and emotional safety are the highest priority.
