In this episode: My Mom (Donna) elaborates some on her DUI experience. We discuss how there are many roads to recovery and many roads to addiction. We share our experiences in active addiction to show that addiction does not discriminate and how it can affect anyone. We talk about our codependency as mother and daughter in active addiction and what that entailed. We also share how we began to get to the other side of our tumultuous relationship and how we eventually became friends.

This was the first time we ever sat down to record. It was meant to just be practice but we decided to release it as our first episode. While it is short in length, It's ultimately just to give you a little teaser of the few months that preceded us getting sober for good. We gloss over the DUI's we each got one month apart, the mental breakdowns and episodes that were the catalysts to us seeking help and got us to where we are today. We hope you will give it a listen, subscribe and join us for episodes to come!

We are two addicts in recovery who also happen to be mother and daughter. At some points in our relationship, we didn’t speak and at other times we were completely codependent but toxic. However, through getting sober, we were able to heal our relationship and form a bond we never thought possible. The name of the podcast, "How I Met My Mother, Sober" is a play on words of how we each met one another sober. So, tune in as we share our journey! We hope you'll stick around as we dig in and confront past traumas and memories and hopefully, relate when we discuss the craziness of addiction and all that goes along with it! Our promise to you is, to be genuine, real, and raw! Episode 1 coming soon!
