I lost my family in active addiction and did almost as much damage in early sobriety. Contuinue to explore this site to see how I earned back their trust and respect

The Recovering Relationships Podcast

We started this podcast because so many of you asked to hear more about our journey — the real, messy, and hopeful work of repairing relationships after addiction. Your curiosity, your questions, and your stories inspired us to open up and share ours.

We will dive into topics close to our hearts: family connection and the ongoing journey of healing, understanding, and rebuilding trust. Our discussions will explore the challenges we face, the lessons we've learned, and the paths to creating a supportive environment for ourselves and our loved ones.

We can’t wait to invite you into these conversations and hope you will find meaning and hope within them.

The first episode is out now.

A guide for the recovering individual (from addiction, alcoholism, or mental illness) on how to repair and rebuild relationships with their family and friends.
