In this episode, I discuss what rehab looks like after someone comes home and the importance of doing your own work. Emphasising that rehab is not a silver bullet and that both the person in recovery and their loved ones need to take responsibility for their own growth and happiness. I talk about and encourage open and honest communication, setting realistic goals, and handling the truth in a safe and healthy way. will also talking some big truths about the importance of stepping off the roller coaster of addiction and focusing on personal growth and self-trust.
In this episode I talk about what the the tail end of rehab and coming back home looks like and all the complexities around that for the loved ones. The constant and low hum of anxiety about your loved ones up coming departure from rehab/recovery program, and a lot of thoughts and worries about what happens now, what does it look like and how do we go about living life once rehab is done.
Things are usually quite dire when someone goes into rehab, the situation is constant chaos and crisis and you are both on the roller coaster of crazy, toxic and unhealthy behaviours. So how do we rebuild and move forwards in a healthy way?
I talk about what I wish I then that I know now and some tough truths that you need to do for yourself, so you can step forward together in a healthy way. Digging into what does success look like, for you and for them? And how can we build on that with the model fo change and realistic expectations - so that everyone is on the same page.
If your loved one is going to, in or has been to rehab/recovery programs, they are (trying to) step off the addiction roller coaster and the hamster wheel - you need to work out how you are going to do the same. And that might be hard to hear.
I would invite you to stop sitting in the cheap seats of your life and think about how you can show up as a main character - Independent of what loved one does…you need and deserve to live a great life.
Key Takeaways:
Rehab is not a silver bullet and both the person in recovery and their loved ones need to do their own work.Open and honest communication is crucial for a healthy relationship after rehab.Setting realistic goals and handling the truth in a safe and healthy way are important for personal growth.Stepping off the roller coaster of addiction and focusing on self-trust and personal happiness is essential.There are many different paths to recovery, and it's important to find what works best for each individual.Let's get into it!

This is rehab from the other side... from the lived experience of a loved one on the 'outside'.
This is a personal episode for me, as I dig into the memory box and go back to the rehab time, and the (very) long lead up to it. The rehab roller coaster of hope, dreams and disappointment.
Not much is said about what happens to the spouses when their partners go to rehab. What it looks like, what it feels like, and the roller coaster of emotions while continuing to juggle all the balls.
In this episode I talk about what the beginning was like when my loved one was in rehab, walking out the doors and resuming 'life'. And that's the thing here, nothing changes for those on the outside, life still carries on. And we need help and support too. What about us?
I talk honestly about how I thought rehab was a silver bullet and how this dream was slowly crashing down around me, piece by piece.
The directive of the rehab that we should respond to a lapse or relapse with "care and compassion" put my in a tailspin, as I had nothing in my tank, I was operating in survival mode, and I just wanted to know HOW to do that.
Rehabs very rarely give the loved ones, families and spouses the support that THEY need to rebuild their lives along their loved ones. And this is the shortcomings.
This is part 2 of 3 - there is a lot to be said about rehab from the other side.
This is opening the can of rehab worms because they are certainly not all created equal. And while there are some amazing people out there doing such great work, there are some less than great also.
What I wish I'd known.
What I wouldn't do again.
Why it's not a silver bullet.
Let's get into it!

In this episode I talk about the lead up to rehab (it's long and brutal), the absolute confusion about what to do, the hope that is dashed each time they say they'll do it alone, the relief when they eventually go (if they do).
I talk honestly about how I thought rehab was a silver bullet and how I put my life and goodness and all my hopes on this one small part of the journey, and how a woman's words in a lift brought my reality crashing down around me.
Fears of cafe escapes and hard conversations.

A bit of a pointy episode today.
Because while I want to shine a light on this side of addiction. If this is impacting your life, I actually want to help you.
So here it is.
"What got you here, won't get you there"
All the habits, ways of navigating a loved ones recovery addiction, routines and behaviours that got you to this point in life, 'here'. Are not going to get you 'there', to your great life.
The next chapter of your life, if you want it to be different and better, requires different from you.
And it is you that needs to do that (this is annoying and empowering - trust me!)
In this episode, let's have a look at what we might be doing that needs tweaking and how we can bring self awareness to this for change. How frustrating and infuriating is it when you see your loved one do the same things on repeat and you just want to SHAKE THEM into doing something differently so they might get a different and better outcome?
... how might you be doing the exact same thing, but on the other side?
Let's talk about changing our course, charting new paths and planting our garden in a different way so that we can live our great life and head to 'there'.
Try it - let me know how you get on.

The Pause.
This is something that you can start doing immediately after listening to this podcast. It's simple, yet it's not easy - and it's worth it.
The power of the pause is an amazing tool to have in your pocket to keep you in alignment with your values and gives you the ability to respond in situations rather than react.
It is exactly as it says on the tin - pause.
It can be the difference between responding with kindness and blurting out some hurtful/unhelpful words and further disconnecting from those around you.
It can be the difference between yelling at your kids over spilling the milk (true story) and responding with kindness and understanding.
It can be the difference between sleeping that night because and staying up all night being annoyed at yourself for what you did/said.
Try it - let me know how you get on.

In this episode we are ripping off the language bandaid. And it is going to be uncomfortable and I would love you to stay the course with me as this is what is going to help EVERYONE.
This is 100% the hill I will die on. Because THIS, the language we are using at the dinner table and in our conversations is keeping people stuck in stigma and shame and it is preventing people from getting support.
There is not doubt here.
We all use words every day and words are so powerful - their meaning, their subtext and connotations.
That saying, STICKS AND STONES MAY BREAK MY BONES, (BUT WORDS CAN NEVER HURT ME)
Is quite frankly a load of crap.
Let's uncover the words that we use here and ask ourselves an important question... do they serve us, do they serve our loved ones?
And if not... are you willing to try and do better and to change the conversation?
If you would like to submit a listener letter or piece of writing, please (please!) do send them in an I will read them out - email here or [email protected].
I think this is a lovely form of expression and goes very much to the core of it all.

Ooof.
I came across this heart breaking, courageous and beautiful piece of writing recently and I couldn't get it out of my head. So I sent SITC an email asking if I could read it on my podcast as I know it'll resonate in your heart and soul like it did mine.
What struck me most, aside from the rawness was the accountability, ownership and the acknowledgement of the hurt caused and the consistent effort required to stay on the good path.
And that is everything.
What hit me in my stomach were the two simple sentences on trust... so so true.
So thank you to the lovely man that wrote that and I'm sure your Bush Tribe are very proud to support you and walk alongside you.
This writing was published on Sober In the Country (SITC) Instagram's page and you can read more about their good work and things they do here
Change isn't easy, and it's possible. For everyone. No matter where you are in this.
I too then thought - I have had many requests (so uncomfortable writing this) about my poem and could I read it again - save it somewhere... well here it is.
I thought it was fitting to put these two pieces of expressive writing together. An expression from both sides of the same coin, both drowning in pain and shame, but experiences that are different.
If you would like to submit a listener letter or piece of writing, please (please!) do send them in an I will read them out - email here or [email protected].
I think this is a lovely form of expression and goes very much to the core of it all.

It's essentially new year same situation unless.... YOU do things differently. Stay with me here because I say that with love from my heart to yours.
Now, I know it's not easy to have a great year that is so much better than the year that's just gone (I know!) and it's possible. Truly.
We get wrapped up in the false sense of a New Year reset, that things will somehow be different.
We tell ourselves a new year is a fresh start a clean slate, a whole 365 days of opportunity ahead and another trip around the sun.
We tell ourselves that hings will be better this year, that this year has to be better than last year...
And I'm going to ask you... what has changed? What is going to make this year better than last? What is going to make this year different?
In this episode I chat about New Year's resolutions being a bit nonsense and what you can do instead.
And everything I talk about is possible - it's not pie in the sky stuff. And I chat a lot about the process of change and what will truly help if you want to make this year better.

This is the year 2024, I made a decision in 2019 "Not this" and so began my slow (Because I didn't get support for myself) recovery.
And in January 2024 I had a stumble, a lapse...
In this episode I go into a real time lapse I had in my own recovery. I literally recorded this episode the next day - because it was a teachable moment, for me and you.
I'm showing up here authentically, and that means I want you to know I am absolutely human and not perfect and that I stumble too, so that you don't feel crap when you stumble. Because guess what, you will 100% because this isn't easy and we are human.
So I go deep on how we get to a lapse or relapse situation (hint: You have to be actually be MAKING or trying to make positive changes in your life) and the process of how we go about change.
I discuss a very small example of some behaviours that do not serve us (but make complete sense when we are doing them) and how to know when we are on the up.
I share how I fell off the goodness bus, what it 'was' that I did, and how I came through it.
Change is hard, and it's worth it. So I hope that by me sharing the ins and outs of my stumble, that you will feel motivated to START making changes if you haven't already, or that if you too are just human like me, that you give yourself a bit of that grace you so freely throw about for others, dust yourself off and get back at it.
The alternative is go down the rabbit hole - let's not do that. Please do not do that.
I know it's hard to start - and honestly - it is something you will NEVER regret doing. And I say that with 100% certainty, no matter which direction your goodness takes you.

In this two part episode, I chat to the beautiful Andy Quin.
Andy is the Co-founder of ETCH Sparkling with Husband Jason, a lovely friend and member of the community, wonderful mother and wife.
I am so grateful to have Andy here, who so courageously and bravely agreed to come and chat with me about her own experience being on the other side of addiction as her husband Jason struggled with alcohol.
I know you will hear your story as Andy shares hers, even if some of the details are different. The confusion, the denial, the inability to see what was right in front of her, and then the secrets, lies and what she describes as her husband Jason who was her rock, slowly crumbling.
In Part 2 we talk about how embedded Alcohol was in Jason's identity with his career and passion and how with the drinks at ETCH, giving acknowledgement that there is a special ritual around drinks and how we can do that in a non-alcoholic way with drinks that are for adults and can be part of that social inclusion and socialising.
We speak about how being in a relationship with addiction impacted Andy's wellbeing and she shares how she took care of herself in the tricky times, and that in fact how much gratitude she has in her life having come through the other side, and how rich her life is. Andy really tells the story of how important it is to do your own work and it's about being intentional over time. To consistently show up for yourself.
We share a little laugh about our shared 'destination recovery' vision, and how, in fact, recovery can be very busy too - that it takes time, and commitment.
Andy, along with Jason have created a great life, and Andy was instrumental in that. In creating her great life - that it was all in her and nothing or anyone outside of here did that. And really, that deserves a huge pat on the back - that is truly inspiring and something to be proud of.
Learning to trust herself was instrumental in moving forward - to trust her gut. To trust what she knows.
In this chat, we are brave, we take big breaths and we sip our respective cups of tea and coffee in different states in Australia, telling our story in the hope that it helps someone else.
I cannot thank Andy enough for sitting in her discomfort and having this conversation.

I am so grateful to have Andy here, who so courageously and bravely agreed to come and chat with me about her own experience being on the other side of addiction as her husband Jason struggled with alcohol.
I know you will hear your story as Andy shares hers, even if some of the details are different. The confusion, the denial, the inability to see what was right in front of her, and then the secrets, lies and what she describes as her husband Jason who was her rock, slowly crumbling.
In Part 1 we chat about a 20 year love story that was fully entwined with another love story, the romance of the wine industry. And a tale of normalised drinking culture and a realisation from Jason that alcohol might be a problem. As we spoke this week, it was recently Jason's 5 year anniversary from when he had his last drink and Andy and I chat about the rocky path of recovery, for our lovely people and also, for us.
When we dive a little deeper as to when things started to become a problem for Andy, her story of being heavily pregnant and not knowing if Jason was going to be able to drive her to the hospital 40 minutes away, really took my breath away - as that is a core memory of mine in my story too.
We speak about feeling invisible and needing that praise and acknowledgement of we too have done hard, brave and courageous things along side our loved ones. And how we have often felt forgotten.
In this chat, we are brave, we take big breaths and we sip our respective cups of tea and coffee in different states in Australia, telling our story in the hope that it helps someone else.
Andy speaks to a real fear that many of us have when we have a loved one grappling with addiction and navigating recovery. The fear of loss. It's hard to listen to and hard to think about - but this is part of the reality in this space.
I cannot thank Andy enough for sitting in her discomfort and having this conversation.
Part 2 of this conversation will be out next week as we continue our chat of the other side of addiction.

In this episode we are diving into the Holidays when you love someone struggling with addiction.
It can be a turbulent time full of uncertainty, and nothing highlights the gaps in our lives more than the relentless parade of seemingly perfect holiday snapshots flooding our social media feeds. It can be a bit much.
But we can have Happy-ish Holidays and I share a few things to be mindful of and seven tips to help you have happy-ish holidays within the reality of loving someone struggling with addiction.
We need to be mindful of where we put our precious resources and try and stay out of comparison - which can be hard at this time of year when the 'perfection' is very much in your face!
Let's manage our expectations and balance the grief with the joy.
Set boundaries and cultivate gratitude.
Implement self care rituals and embrace imperfections.
Learn how to chuck comparison in the trash and focus on what you can control.
And really leaning into what makes sense for you and your family this holiday season.
I hope you truly have a happy-ish holidays, because we might not be having the happiest of holidays and yet we can still have some happy-ish holidays. FOR SURE!

On the show this week we start the conversation on thoughts - and how powerful they are.
We have thousands of thoughts a day, from the moment we wake until we close our eyes at night, and sometimes beyond!
We are always generally thinking about something... These thoughts might include garden-variety, everyday musings:
These thoughts might include garden-variety, everyday musings, or more complex, deeper thoughts, or more painful thoughts...
Like will I ever get to live the life I had dreamed of, or one of the most painful thoughts, "Why are they choosing a substance over me?"
And let's unravel how this plays out in our behaviour and relationships and how we can workout which thougths are helpful and which thoughts are unhelpful.
I give real life examples of unhelpful thoughts I have had and some of the most painful thoughts I have heard my clients express.
And there is a gift here - that if you can master how to manage your painful and unhelpful thoughts, then you will change the trajectory of your life.
You will navigate sliding door 'thought' moments with ease and make good decisions intentionally.
And you will be able to share this skill and absolute life flex at your dinner table, with your little and big people - helping them catch their unhelpful thoughts.
You can change your life, you influence change in others and you can lead the way. Tune in to find out how.

In Episode 5 I dive into the archives and resurface the feelings and frustrations I felt back in January 2020 (and some of them still stand!)
"What about us" is the start of the conversation as to what it's like to be on this side of addiction and being invisible. And when rehab facilities put so much pressure on families to do 'the right thing' yet provide zero helpful support and tools.
When you are living and existing through some of the most challenging and frightful days of our life, yet shame and stigma keeps you doing so in silence... so no one knows to ask how you are doing.
I hope that if there are people that have or are struggling with addiction listening in - that they encourage their family and spouse to get support for THEMSELVES.
We all need our support crew, our A Team - the people that catch us.

Wow.
What an episode and always a great conversation - of which we can never seem to make it short!
Gary and I had quite a few extensive conversations on Instagram, and this is our first podcast chat.
We cover many topics and go deep into some dark corners here and pull back the covers on a few things that are a little bit and sometimes a lot uncomfortable - which is what you'd expect from a conversation with Gary!
We talk about the avoidance of admitting or identifying a problem, and the culmination of adding years to the problem. How societal acceptance of some behaviour plays in further to our bargaining. How and when to build your success (not in the crisis moments!) and the peace of knowing who you are and what you stand for so that you find your people rather than trying to fit in with the wrong pack.
We dive deep into the cost of addiction, and Gary brings his usual show stopper here on where the cost sits and who is responsible. Spoiler alert, it might be you.
How we can all sit in destination happiness and why that's not helping you or your loved one.
And knowing that change is hard, yet also simple and it takes commitment.
Let us know what you think!

In episode 3 I am asking the question - "where is my gawd damn lasagne?"
As I dig into the archives (Again) and find a blog post that I wrote back in October 2019, titled, "No lasagne for you!" A blog post that I never posted... because I decided against doing a blog!
And why... why when we are in some of the toughest, most confusing, exhausting and scary times of our life, do we not have people lining up to support us?
I speak about how we dance with our shame, secrecy and denial and how that keeps us stuck.
All the grief we go through (just scratching the surface on this one) and how we can sometimes try and bargain with the grief gods.
I propose some first small steps to take, if you have not yet put your hand up for suppport and what this could look like

In episode 2 I talk about the beginning. When did this addiction behaviour even all start?! We know something isn't quite right, but what is it? What in the goodness gracious is going on here?!
I dive into the confusion and some ways we might be able to identify if it's a problem and some pitfalls to avoid. Talking about the problem and how you and those around you might perceive it differently. I go into the lies and denial and the role the play here, and how each of these coping mechanisms serve us.

This is the one time back story of how I got to be here.
In the first episode I go into my own personal back story of how I got to be here. The kid with braces and slight people pleasing tendencies with a lovely famiy unit. The education system I went through and my lived adult experiences that brought me to where I am today. Context is everything, my story and my life is going to be different to yours, and we are going to have shared experiences and understanding along the way.
I gently open the doors to the struggles I have faced in my later years, navigating the roller coaster of a loved ones addiction.
Because not talking about it isn't helping anyone.
I uncover how I came to create 'Addiction Makes Three' back in late 2019 when I felt so isolated and was seeking connection, and was inspired by Mrs D (Lotta Dann) Author of Mrs D Is Going Without/Within & The Wine O'Clock Myth to coin my initial identity in this space as 'Mrs L', which you'll see in my earlier posts on Instagram.
Let's have the conversations about addiction and how it truly impacts the whole family unit.
In this episode I am inviting you to stay curious and sit with me in your kindness and to really try and contemplate how challenging it is to start these conversations of struggle in a society that typically doesn't make it safe to put your hand up and ask for help or to start the conversation that things are not ok for you.
I share a poem I wrote that I wrote November 2020 as part of a support program I participated in for my own support, and at this time I had just lived through one of the hardest times in my life.
