7. I’m An Adult Child of an Alcoholic

In this week’s episode, I practice vulnerability by sharing my experience of being an adult child of an alcoholic. Although hesitant to open up, I found it important to share this part of my story as it is relevant to many other individuals.

• How I learned my father was an alcoholic.
• My father’s adverse childhood experiences and their impact on his disease.
• Alcohol as a learned coping skill for managing trauma related pain.
