Part 1 - Surviving the emotional rollercoaster

Living with an alcoholic is very difficult and sometimes feels impossible. You must not feel bad about yourself, but it is likely you may experience so many different emotions, hope, anxiety, anger, and depression. These emotions are entirely understandable, but they can be destructive. Join Lou and John for a conversation as they talk about the emotions you experience, how to handle them, and how to live a full life.
