Cathy and Bill have many years of experience managing addiction, and know firsthand that the way families handle this disease can make a huge difference both to their own quality of life and the health of their loved one. They are active in their church, several 12 Step fellowships and community organizations as mentors, sponsors and guides. In this show, they share their experience, strength and hope, sprinkling humor in with wisdom.
