Episode Synopsis

Lizzie is back! We get so many messages and questions about parenting with someone who is in recovery or in active use. While Jessica and Katie’s husbands weren’t in active use when they had their children, that was not the case for Lizzie. Lizzie and Drew have 5 children and have been through the ups and downs of recovery and active use.

Lizzie talks about: 

Having a newborn and Drew leaving for a 90-day rehab out of state.  
Getting her 3-year-old therapy. 
Disciplining their junior in high school who was caught drinking.  
How she talks to her little kids about Drew’s ‘allergy’.
