Alcoholic Parent, The Lifelong Impacts - Nacoa Special 

Wow….. I haven’t been able to clearly connected to my spirit guides, a person, and myself for a long time. If you have time I would love to c hat with you to make sure I am on the right path and not crazy…….

Just come across you and NACOA today. Thank you so much, keep up your good work Josh. Your a legend lad. Much appreciated. North of Ireland, Derry City

At 17:00 is when you started hitting the raw spot. Even at 48, my young parts still miss my dad so much. The man in recovery I knew was deep inside, but was so trapped by his addiction. Thank you for just reminding me my experience was real and I did deserve to make sense of what happened to me.

I only watched this today and though I'm a member I've been unable to bring myself to engage much beyond the forum. It's really helped to listen to someone who's both been through the experience as a COA and had training to speak to others about it. I feel a bit of relief today, I'm (the now in my 40's) "head-down, be the grown up, do well child", my much younger brothers are apparently jealous, they think I had it easy, but really I'm just clinging on by my finger nails and it's getting harder to maintain the walls. I find it really interesting to hear you talk about being allowed to feel (can't remember the exact words), but I need to give myself a bit of a break! Thanks for sharing and I will try to join one of the events soon.

I am very grateful for you.

my mom has been an alcoholic ever since i could remember, shes lost every job, alot of freinds and she lost custody of me. When my dad passed while i was 8 i knew i was going back to a dark place. ive come to forgive her and realized it was her first time living too. ive forgiven her and love her so much.

Totally relatable content..

I had alcoholic stepdads who were abusive, so im often triggered by alcoholics.

Hey where can I access the number for speaking to a counselor about my alcoholic father ?

37:00 powerful. Just powerful.
