Sober Podcast 184 - Empathy for Addiction

TrixeeK sent me an audio question ... what do you say to friends who want to quit drinking but don't listen to your advice? How do you deal with frustration when people relapse? What do you do when you're tempted to say "try harder"?

Recorded with a live audience, this longer podcast (28 mins) talks about empathy, how to be helpful, and the tricky question of boundaries.

I'm also including the unedited audio recording, where you can hear me talking to the 'audience' during the live broadcast, and answering questions from the chat.

HOMEWORK:

Have you had an experience like TrixeeK explains in her audio question? what would you do differently now that you know what being sober is like?
