Addiction doesn’t just impact the person caught in its grip—it ripples across families, generations, and entire communities. In this powerful episode of The Men of the House Podcast, Richard Craft sits down with Jennifer Chase, a woman in long-term recovery whose story is raw, real, and filled with hope.

Jennifer grew up as the daughter of an alcoholic and vowed never to repeat the cycle—yet found herself facing her own addiction, shame, codependency, and trauma. She’s also the mother of a recovering addict, giving her a rare perspective of experiencing recovery from both sides: the one needing saving, and the one desperately trying to save someone else.

Now a life coach, Jennifer shares how she broke free from destructive patterns, set healthy boundaries, and discovered self-worth on the other side of pain. Together, we explore:

  • How addiction impacts families across generations
  • The hidden battles of shame, trauma, and codependency
  • What it means to truly heal—not just stay sober
  • How loved ones of addicts can begin their own recovery journey
  • The beauty of choosing peace in the midst of chaos

This conversation is an honest reminder that even in the darkest corners, healing is possible—and cycles can be broken.
