<div> <p>Today we welcome Melanie, a young woman working through the stages of recovery after growing up a child of an alcoholic. Melanie always felt different at school and struggled to make friends.  After learning as much as she could about alcohol and having had a spiritual awakening, she is now able to speak about her experiences and share her strength and hope for other young people who are living in households where alcoholism is present. Melanie speaks openly about how living with alcoholism shaped her early years and has some enlightening insight into how other young people can identify whether someone close to them might have a problem with alcohol.</p><p>If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, there are plenty of resources on the Stride Foundation website: <a href="https://stridefoundation.com/">https://stridefoundation.com/</a></p><p>Watch all our episodes on YouTube @thisispowerfulwithpaulsculfor </p><p>Follow us on social media for more insights, behind-the-scenes moments, and community discussions.
