What happens when you lose everything to addiction and then claw your way back to sobriety? Joe Ortiz knows firsthand. In this episode of Together S.O.B.E.R., host Louise Barnett chats with Joe, who shares his harrowing yet inspiring journey from a 20-year struggle with cocaine and alcohol to celebrating a decade of sobriety.
Joe's story is a raw look at the depths of addiction, including a period of deep depression and near-death experiences, but it's also a testament to resilience and the transformative power of intervention and family support. Now an interventionist and founder of Transcend Interventions, Joe brings professional training in methods like the Break Free method by Brad Lamm and CRAFT by Dr. Robert J. Meyers. These approaches emphasize that recovery isn't just for the individual but for the entire family.
Throughout the conversation, Joe's dedication to helping others shines brightly as he discusses the importance of setting boundaries, approaching addiction with compassion, and seeking professional guidance. His insights offer hope and practical advice for families navigating the challenging waters of addiction. Tune in for a powerful reminder that recovery is a collective effort, and with the right support, lasting sobriety is within reach.
