Ep 54: Brittany’s story of recovery. Trigger warning: alcoholism/substance abuse

The Real Ex's talk to Brittany on a sensitive and triggering topic for some. Trigger warning: we will be talking about alcoholism and drug abuse. Brittany, a body-positive, emotional support waxer and mother of two daughters, reveals her journey to recovery and post-recovery. She tells how her daughter knows the truth about her recovery and how she manages the teenage pressures of her daughter since she knows this is a genetic predisposition.  If you or someone you know needs resources for suicide, alcoholism and drug abuse: National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (www.niaaa.nih.gov) National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline: #988 or 1-800-799-4889 Alcoholics Anonymous (aa.org) Narcotics Anonymous (na.org)    As always, keep an eye on our social media channels and website for updates.
