Episode 12- My friend Chris joins the show

We start our conversation and Chris mentions her 10th year anniversary is coming up....big stuff!!! We talk about our drinking habits around our families and how at times they were happy to see us leave the house and go away.
Something I identify with is when Chris says at the end she had no pleasure dinking whatsoever.
We talk about the backwards practice (although the medically proper way to do it) of having a person who is about to enter a detox to not stop drinking beforehand.
Unreasonable fears of the world were modeled and present in her life as a young girl and they stayed with her.
We touch on the death of people today reported as “accidental or sudden” and we both agree that when a family reports these deaths as overdose that is so courageous and helpful to others who may feel ashamed to report it this way.
Changing sponsors comes up and we chat about this....
Chris started to do some work on herself and was paying close attention to the program. Her sponsor told her “patience and tolerance...and then acceptance” ....this is GOLD!!!!
This is Chris’s Story.....
