Welcome to "Unapologetically Sarah," a blog shining light on the often overlooked perspectives of those affected by alcohol addiction. As an adult child of an alcoholic parent, I intimately understand the challenges and trauma addiction can inflict upon families and loved ones. By candidly sharing my own experiences and inviting others to do the same, it is my hope we can break down stigmas and feel less alone on this difficult journey.

A core goal of this blog is to bridge the gap between families affected by alcoholism and the alcoholic loved one, promoting greater empathy and understanding between both sides. Through vulnerable storytelling and expert insights, my mission is to increase awareness, compassion, and understanding around this complex issue. I aim to highlight perspectives from those supporting and living with addiction alike, uniting our voices to encourage openness, compassion and eventual healing.

In addition to personal narratives, I will feature interviews with professionals across disciplines offering research and guidance on dealing with the psychological effects of alcoholism. My goal is to provide a thoughtful look at all facets of this epidemic, highlight available resources, and open meaningful dialogue. It is my belief that in sharing stories and truths from multiple viewpoints, we can gain deeper wisdom, nurture vital relationships, and take steps in the direction of individual and collective healing. This blog is for all those seeking solace, hope, and understanding amidst the devastation of addiction. You are not alone.
