Note: This show is not intended to diagnose or treat addiction, but only to begin a discussion about this important issue.

It can be difficult to recognize when a substance or a behavior is being used to fulfill a need. It's important to take a risk and talk to someone to help get clarity or understanding about what Ian going on. There is a lot of us who have had to make changes.

I enjoyed being a part of the Wisdom Coalition program and sharing some of my experience in recovery. I hope anyone watching that may be struggling with addiction might relate and know there is no shame in seeking care, and though change may be difficult and uncomfortable, there is a much better life on the other side of the adversities. One day at a time.

Clever ideas in the kitchen! I have.a scrap piece of granite in my basement. It's long and narrow, but wouldn't that be a cool cheese board on the kitchen island? Everyone can reach it. I love repurposing. Thank you, WC!

Wise words from Liz about dealing with negative feelings: "It's temporary." You can move through it.
