Anna Wolfe
How To Get Wet When You're Dry
Love and lust without the liquor. A show for people navigating recovery and relationships. Host Anna Wolfe, a journalist and several years into recovery from alcohol and an eating disorder, is joined by special guests and experts to unpick, unlearn and better understand the turbulent nature of addiction, and how it affects our relationships. Anna probes those in the know to show that we can all have it better, however dark things have been in the past. Anna’s not a therapist, a guru, or an expert - just a woman who thought it would be nice to share these things and now deeply regrets it.
