The role alcohol and drugs can have in relationships and domestic abuse.

‘Call me Liz.’

Our second EAR POD (East Ayrshire Recovery Podcast) recounts the real experience of a woman’s dependency being used to control them. Guests from East Ayrshire Women’s Aid and East Ayrshire Council’s Safer Together team join host Taylor to explore the complex issue of addiction within domestic abuse, highlighting parts of Liz’s story that might be familiar to others, including the support available that helped Liz find a happier and safer life.

Throughout this episode there are references to violence, coercive control, and alcohol and substance use.

If you ever need support for recovery, call RADAR (Rapid Access to Drug and Alcohol Recovery) on 01563 574237. For domestic abuse call the national domestic abuse helpline on Freephone 0808 2000 247 (24hr).

Look out for more EAR POD episodes coming soon.
