Finding Hope in Family Recovery: Merrit Hartblay's Journey

Family members need their own recovery...all things are possible when you have faith and you learn to love yourself truly before you can really love anybody else.
Imagine sitting down with someone who has walked the tough path of addiction and emerged with a mission to help others. That's exactly what you'll get in this episode of 'Addiction and the Family'. Casey and Kira Arrillaga chat with Merrit Hartblay, a social worker and addiction counselor from New York, who brings a wealth of experience and personal insight to the table. Merrit doesn't just talk the talk; he's lived it.
His journey from addiction to recovery has fueled his passion for family counseling, which he sees as a cornerstone for overcoming addiction's ripple effects. He shares how support groups like Alanon can be lifelines for families, offering a space for healing and understanding. Merrit also touches on the delicate balance families must strike between supporting their loved ones and taking care of their own mental health. His stories of families finding hope and avoiding tragedy are both heartwarming and inspiring.
If you're looking for a candid, compassionate conversation about the realities of addiction and recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
