I stumbled on to your podcast today, while trying to find a podcast that was not associated with work. Seriously, it popped up like I needed it right now.
I have listened to two episodes, starting in the beginning and man did it hit home.
My significant other is in the middle of battling alcoholism and getting busted after many years of being sober- the long and short of it COVID spurred the relapse and he thought he could manage, and sadly and painfully realized he can't on his own.
So here I am, embarrassed, lost and trying to get my feet under me as all these curve-balls come at me. Two episodes in and I feel like I am getting so much, that I have been searching for. Thank you!
Seeing your face is like seeing an old friend. You don't even know me, but you helped me so much during a dark time in my life. Sadly my significant other lost his battle with alcoholism four years ago, and so I started on my own journey that I called "love after addiction." In my grief, I used a lot of what I had learned while I was doing LOA. I wish you only the best!
Hi Michelle, I miss your podcast. I am a little hesitant paying for substack because I want to be sure this is legitimate and not a scam. I heard you closed everything down permanentaly. I don't know how I landed on this page. I just received an email and that was it. May I receive your free newsletter without paying a fee. Once I can confirm this is a legitimate group I will be happy to pay $7.00 per month. There are so many scams out there. Thanks.
I am new to this group My husband of 37 years, is a sweetheart, but drinks heavily, but is in denial that anything is wrong. In fact, if I bring it up, he is very defensive and insulted. It goes up and down, sometimes he drinks a bottle of wine ( or more) each night, then he will go for a day or two without anything to drink.
My biggest problem is that with the alcohol he often gets into a dark mood, and very depressed. I keep telling myself that it is getting better, since he seems to be feeling better lately, but I just found two bags of empty wine bottles and a 5th of whiskey hidden in the garage. I don't know what to do. If I bring it up, he will get very upset.
I am hoping this site will be a support and help for my to navigate this and how to communicate effectively. I am still figuring out how to navigate this site to hear from everyone and get the podcasts.
Hi Michelle, I was so happy to hear from you, and to learn you have a new platform. I have missed LOA greatly. You and that program help me so much to realize I wasn't alone, and it wasn't me, it was the addiction. I am stronger and as much back to me as I will ever be. LOA saved me and got me through some really bad times. I look forward to this new platform, speaking with you, and others and more of your great podcast. Thank you.
Hi Michelle, I paid for the Love Over Addiction program at the very end of March and started on 4/1/2023. Since I paid $288 for that program a little over a month ago, and all the support that came with it, I feel extremely duped as none of those sources are available to me and now I have to pay to access this. I would like a complete refund of my $288 as I do not feel that it was sold to me in good faith, as you were aware that you were closing down all of those resources. Including that 2weeks into my purchase my links to the modules were no longer active and I had to reach out. This is just not a good faith business practice and I absolutely do not believe I received what was advertised.
Michelle I bought the stay or go program and have not received any email. I know your site was down and is changing. I joined this Substack. I’m just trying to get in touch with you.
Hi Michelle 🥰. I have emailed you. I still haven’t gotten anything and I check all boxes daily. Please let me know. I’m eager for the program. Thank you!
I'm so glad you are back, thank you, thank you, thank you, for your Stay or Leave program from your original LOA. You helped me to grow and be brave and have dreams and goals again!!!
Michelle-

You will be ok Jessica 💕 no need to feel embarrassed - we all understand you.

So pleased to re- find you. It’s hard to find a space we can trust is anonymous.
Wow! I just joined Substack and you're the first account I found. Love what you're doing here.
