About this listen

We are a podcast dedicated to sobriety and recovery from alcohol and drugs. (And whatever other addiction that is out there) It doesn't matter what you have been through in the past. We have all done very bad things in our addiction. This does not define who we are. We know there is a way out of addiction. Family and loved ones, you play a part in this as well. There are plenty of stories out there of families and loved ones not knowing what to do with their addicted loved one. Let us guide you on the right things to do and the right decisions to make to ensure that you and your loved one gets the help that you need.

    After meeting each other at a liquor store three Sundays in a row waiting for it to open, Don and Nan spent years drowning in addiction together — and somehow got sober at the exact same moment. In this episode, Tom sits down with Don and Nan to talk about what actually worked, why tough love isn't always the answer, and how one father's compassion (instead of consequences) may have been the thing that saved his son's life. If you have a loved one struggling with addiction, this episode will challenge everything you've been told about what it takes to get someone sober.

    In this episode, we break down why romantic and sexual relationships are one of the top drivers of relapse in early recovery — and what families need to watch for. They cover the four core reasons relationships derail recovery, share real stories from years of working with clients, and talk about what actually needs to be in place before someone in recovery is ready to date. Whether you're a family member trying to understand what's happening with your loved one, or you're in recovery yourself, this episode is a must-watch.
