If, for the family, step one is, I am powerless over addiction in others and I'm powerless over other people, am I continuing to do the things that people who believe and understand that continue to do?

Joined by hosts Stefan and Dylan, Kevin dives deep into the often-overlooked role of families in addiction recovery. Drawing from his extensive experience as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Kevin shares both humorous and heart-wrenching stories that highlight the critical need for family involvement in the recovery process.
