This episode Jo and Paula are talking to Lisa Boucher about co-dependency. This is a very large topic to discuss and affects most people that have lived with someone's drinking. When people are co-dependent, their focus is on the drinker, much like the drinker's focus is on the alcohol. The parallels between the drinker and the family can be seen in lots of ways. The discussion will cover what co-dependency is and how family members can so easily get caught up in it. As well as that, Jo, Paula and LIsa will be looking at those parallels, how it impacts on adult life and the family members after the drinker has sought recovery. Lisa Boucher, Author of the Multi-Award Winning book, Raising the Bottom: Making Mindful Choices in a Drinking Culture. As a recovering alcoholic, she has been sober for thirty-one years and understands the complex nature of addiction and how childhood trauma is often at the root of what ails us. A registered nurse, Lisa believes that traditional healthcare does little to incorporate the mind-body connection, nor does our current culture appreciate the healing power of nature. https://www.amazon.com/author/lisaboucher If you'd like to feel connected in a safe place with others just like you, join the Daughters of Alcoholics Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/daughtersofalcoholics Sometimes you just need to speak to someone, if you want a chat with Jo about something you're struggling with, click here to book a call: https://cozycal.com/joannehuey42 In the meantime, you can have a look at this brochure that answers and explains some of the basics of dealing with a drinker.

Guest 1 Raising the Bottom Lisa Boucher is the author of Raising the Bottom: Making Mindful Choices in a Drinking Culture, an award-winning book that won the 2017 Best Book Awards in the category of women’s health and placed as a finalist in the category of addiction/recovery. She is also a speaker. After short stints where she trained polo horses, worked as a flight attendant, hairdresser, and bartender, she realized that the time to implement serious change had arrived. She gave up drinking, revamped her life and settled in as a registered nurse where living a life in recovery became her way. For the past twenty-eight years, Lisa has worked with hundreds of women to overcome alcoholism, live better lives and become better parents. She was prompted to write Raising the Bottom when after twenty-four years of working in hospitals, she realized that doctors and traditional health care offer few solutions to women with addiction issues. She is dedicated to not only help women recover from alcoholism, but has extended her reach to educate and help corporations deal with the growing addiction problem that has permeated every sphere of American life. An author of five books, she holds a BA in English and is the mother of twin sons. She currently resides in Ohio with her husband. More information on the book here http://raisingthebottom.com/ Guest 2 Seek Purpose Seek Purpose is a community of people seeking purpose in recovery. Learning to feel, to love, to parent and supporting each other through it all. Seek Purpose started as a prayer in the shower and the undeniable voice that spoke back saying “your story, My glory”. With this exciting concept in hand, the mission was on to find out what God was calling us to create. After hours of phone calls, several designs and redesigns, 4 failed podcast episodes and some last-minute tweaks Seek Purpose the Podcast was born.

Lisa Boucher is a registered nurse and has worked in hospitals with hundreds of women with addiction issues for over 25 years.

Well over 15 million people in the United States have addiction problems and less than 8% receive treatment. What prevents them from taking the step for healing? Could it be a self denial?

You will learn what alcoholism does to the liver, the immune system, the kidneys and more. Did you know that alcohol travels to the front section of the brain and can affect our decision making. Lisa gives you many ways to stop drinking before it is too late. Many resources have a spirituality component and an encouraging support group. Support groups provide a solution.

For some people alcohol is just something you have with dinner or at the end of the day or at a party. For others, it's the mask that needs to be worn to function. Trying to figure out which one of those people you are can be complicated. In this episode, We're joined by Lisa Boucher, author of Raising the Bottom: Making Mindful Choices in a Drinking Culture. It is a very useful tool for readers struggling with alcohol addiction, a book that brings together stories and lessons from women who have suffered from alcoholism and who have had the courage to regain their freedom.

Raising the Bottom: Making Mindful Choices in a Drinking Culture with Lisa Boucher Have you ever wondered if social drinking has unintended consequences to your health, family, relationships, or your profession? Have you ever thought that losing control of your drinking couldn’t happen to you or someone you love? All the women you know are too smart. Too rich. Too kind. Too together. Too much fun. Pick one. We live in a boozy culture, and the idea of women and wine has become entrenched. Is your book club really a “wine club”? Do you crave the release a drink can bring to cope with anxiety, parenthood, the pressures of being a mom, a wife/partner, a professional? In Raising the Bottom, mothers, daughters, health professionals, and young women share their stories of why they drank, how they stopped, and the joys and rewards of being present in their lives once they kicked alcohol to the curb.

The Matter of the Heart - Lisa Boucher - Author of the Award Winning Book - Raising the Bottom, Making Mindful Choices in a Drinking Culture , Alcoholism and Alcoholics Anonymous Lisa lived with her alcoholic mother for several years and this manifested her passion to write her book. She was also a registered nurse for 25 years and for the most part never saw a healthy approach for the treatment of alcoholics in hospitals. Most of the alcoholics were given consistent medication without a treatment for the cure. What are the signs of an alcoholic? Why do some have resistance for treatment? Carol explores the psychology of the patient with Lisa. What is a functional alcoholic? Why does Lisa believe that AA is the best form of treatment? What are some of the psychological reasons that contribute to an alcoholic? Why is a person's self esteem so vital for recovery and how does Alcoholics Anonymous foster this with their group sessions? Is a group session a replacement from a genetic family, enhancing a bond and compassion for one another? Lisa reviews some of the steps starting from the alcoholics life which has become so unmanageable to the twelfth step believing in a higher power. According to Lisa, some methods for healing could be journal writing, taking note of any childhood trauma that occurred in the person's life. Loving energy in the program can be monumental for healing. Support also creates a sense of security and inner peace. This is a fascinating podcast of how a woman learned the hard way and then gave back to mankind!
