Welcome to another episode of The Real Dope! This time, sisters Meridith and Beth are exploring a topic that often doesn’t get enough attention: why your own recovery is so important when you’re living with or loving someone facing addiction.
Drawing on their personal experiences—ranging from family ups and downs to candid discussions about enabling—Meridith and Beth open up about what it truly takes to break free from those old, unhealthy habits. They discuss why it’s completely okay to prioritize yourself, highlight the importance of focusing on your own growth, and even share some laughs along with some tough truths about spending money on yourself instead of always bailing out your loved one.
If you’ve ever wondered if it’s okay to start caring for yourself again, why setting boundaries can feel so challenging, or how to let go of guilt about not “fixing” everything, this episode is for you. Grab your coffee, get comfortable, and get ready for some honest conversations, supportive advice, and practical strategies from two sisters who truly understand. Let’s turn this chaos into something stronger—together!
