Ever thought about what goes on behind the scenes of an intervention? In this episode of Recovery Soapbox, Josh Hall sits down with Kevin Graves, a seasoned interventionist with two decades of sobriety under his belt.

Kevin shares his personal experiences, emphasizing the importance of empathy, trust, and spiritual surrender.

Family involvement is crucial, and Kevin notes that their journey often mirrors that of the addict.
He encourages families to take their own steps toward healing by admitting powerlessness and seeking support. Throughout the conversation, Kevin touches on the significance of detachment and surrender, urging families to trust the process and let their loved one's journey unfold naturally. Spirituality plays a big role in Kevin's approach, and he highlights how different belief systems can offer unique paths to recovery.
Whether you're dealing with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights into the art of intervention and the power of empathy and spirituality in the recovery process.
