In this episode of 'The Embrace Family Recovery Podcast', Margaret Swift Thompson sits down with Barb and Tom, parents of a son battling addiction. Their candid conversation offers a glimpse into the emotional rollercoaster of loving someone with this disease. Tom shares his pivotal moment of surrender, realizing that addiction isn't a matter of fault but a complex illness that requires compassion and understanding.
Barb and Tom open up about how embracing the recovery program as a family has not only helped their son but also enriched their own lives in unexpected ways.

This heartfelt discussion is a testament to the strength found in sharing personal stories and the healing that comes from collective experiences.
Whether you're navigating your own journey or supporting a loved one, Barb and Tom's story offers hope and practical insights for anyone touched by addiction.
