Our Stories Podcast Episode 6: Alexandria Dobrikovic, LSW, MSW. When You Love Someone Who Struggles With Addiction
Addiction. Why does it happen? Where does the stigma come from? We explore these questions and how to deal when you or someone you love one is struggling. The judgement and assumptions can make it so difficult to talk about.
We go there in this episode. Alex challenges me and my own biases. She provides us insight on ways we can support those who are struggling with addiction as well as those around them.
