Richie Stephens, Author of The Gangster’s Guide to Sobriety


Today my guest is Richie Stephens, actor and author of The Gangster’s Guide to Sobriety.

I could literally listen to him all day.

Hi Friend! This is going to be a really good one, especially for those who participate in ACA, which is Adult Children of Alcoholics/Dysfunctional Families. In the 338 episodes I’ve recorded so far, I’ve actually never covered this topic!   My guest for this conversation is Dr. Sharon Martin. She is a psychotherapist and author specializing in codependency recovery. For the past 25 years, she’s been helping adult children recover from difficult childhoods, overcome feelings of unworthiness, and learn to set boundaries. Dr. Martin is the author of four self-help books, including “The Better Boundaries Workbook” and “Cutting Ties with Your Parents.” She also writes the popular blog Conquering Codependency for Psychology Today.   In this episode we’re going to be talking about setting boundaries, codependency, perfectionism, and how to handle events such as weddings and funerals if you’ve cut ties with your parents.   Anyway, I’m really excited to share this conversati...
