Welcome to A Hot Mess:  Adult Children of Alcoholics.

I'm your host Peter Tompkins, and I want to extend a heartfelt welcome to each and every one of you who've tuned in. In this podcast, we're diving deep into a topic that's often unspoken yet incredibly impactful – the experiences of adult children who grew up in families affected by alcoholism.

Many of us have heard stories about the struggles of addiction, but what about those who were right there, growing up amidst it all? How does growing up in an alcoholic household shape a person's life, relationships, and sense of self? That's exactly what I'll be exploring together in this series.

I will be discussing my experience being raised in poverty by two alcoholic parents and how it effected me as a child and now, as an adult.

My experience led me to produce and direct an autobiographical film. Road to Forgiveness: Addiction Spares No One tell my story.
