Andrea Owen hit bottom in 2007.  Her husband had an affair with their neighbor and got her pregnant.  When they split, she entered a new relationship only to find out nine months later he’d lived about having cancer to cover for his drug problem.  He cheated on Andrea and fleeced her out of thousands of dollars.  Andrea had isolated herself from her friends, quit her job and was moving out her apartment to move in with him.  Andrea knew life had to change and asked the universe for whatever help she could get.

In this episode, Andrea shares:

  • How she attended 12 step meetings on co-dependency, yet dismissed her own alcohol issues
  • How battle with sex and love addiction left a graveyard of broken hearts
  • Dealing with the horrors of postpartum depression
  • Big T and Little T “trauma.”
  • Drinking before her husband came home, chugging wine just before he came in the door
  • Battling ADD
