Join Dan in this episode as he talks to Anna Jasper, a single mum sharing her journey within the throes of addiction, broken family, single parenting, the loss of a loved one and the realisation of the strength it's taken to get this far. Discussing the universal problem of addiction, the effects it can cause to the children of addicted parents and changing the narrative, to ensure people know that 'it's normal to not be normal' and that the most important thing we can do in life is TALK. Anna opens up about her (almost) 8 years sober; how she still battled with depression and suicide, but managed to maintain her sobriety at the lowest point in her life. She shares how seeking help has saved her and that she recognised the effect of her behaviours on her young son, before seeking therapy to help them both. Anna shares insight into the life of a 24 hour drinker, parenting whilst having an addiction and coming to terms with the extreme lows whilst being sober.
