Menopause, Muscle Relaxers and Relapse

from Drunk-ish - A Sobriety Podcast · host Stefanie Wilder-Taylor

This week I’m talking with Kira Reed, and wow, we get into it. We talk about the kind of childhood stuff that follows you around, getting launched into adulthood way too early, and the many extremely bad ideas that can grow out of trying to outrun grief. Kira talks about her path from wild 80s partying into heroin addiction, getting sober, relapsing years later through prescribed muscle relaxers, and what it takes to come back again. We also talk about motherhood, secrets, honesty, and why so many of us are determined to parent nothing like we were parented.  Please check out these episode over on YouTube
