About this episode

Stephen reflects on his father's alcoholism and his own relationship with alcohol while navigating complex family dynamics.

Stephen's Dad is seriously ill in hospital, but he's not sure whether to run to him (as he always does) or to let his Dad go. He has lived with his father's alcoholism for most of his life and his patience is running out. He also reflects on his own days with alcohol and asks the question after many years of living sober, if he was indeed ever as powerless over alcohol as his father is. This is Real Talk Therapy.
