For years, Irene Rollins lived on auto-pilot. Unaware of just how motivated by shame she was, it took a jolt to wake her up to the fact that she didn\\u2019t have to live a life characterized by fear and defensiveness.\\xa0

It was an addiction to alcohol, made more severe by the pressures of pastoring a church, that finally woke her up to these bigger problems: \\u201cImagine the weight I was carrying. I still had three kids, the dogs, managing life, and I found myself reintroducing alcohol into my life.\\u201d From there, things escalated, says Rollins. \\u201cMy dependency increased over a six year period of time, and I went into a full blown alcohol addiction.\\u201d

In this episode, we explore the nature of addiction and recovery, including the ways in which every one of us struggle with addiction in our own way.\\xa0
