Most people don't just raise their hand and say, 'Oh, gee, I think I've got a problem. I think I'll clear my schedule and go away to treatment for a month.'
In this episode, Father Bill W. is joined by Jeff Jay, co-author of 'Love First: A Family’s Guide to Intervention'. Together, they discuss the essential steps for preparing and executing a successful intervention. Jeff shares his extensive experience in addiction and intervention training, highlighting the importance of family involvement in the recovery process. The episode covers how families can support their loved ones who are in denial about their addiction, and the structured steps necessary to ensure an intervention's success.
Jeff emphasises that addiction affects the entire family, and recovery should be a collective effort. He also debunks the myth that addicts must hit rock bottom before seeking help, advocating instead for 'raising the bottom' through early intervention. The conversation is filled with practical advice and heartfelt anecdotes, making it both informative and relatable.
By the end of the episode, you'll have a clearer understanding of how to prepare for an intervention and the critical role trust plays in family recovery. If you're dealing with addiction in your family, this episode is a must-listen.
