Jeff & Debra Jay: Transforming Interventions with Love First

Setting up a positive social norm, which is just fancy language for a good example, is the most powerful thing you can do to influence change in another person.
How do you support a loved one struggling with addiction without pushing them away? Jeff and Debra Jay have a groundbreaking answer. In this episode of 'The Way Out', hosts Charlie and Jason engage in a heartfelt conversation with these renowned specialists, who bring decades of experience in addiction recovery to the table. Jeff, having battled addiction himself, and Debra, who faced codependency issues, have channeled their personal journeys into creating the Love First Intervention model.
This approach shifts away from the traditional, often confrontational methods of intervention. Instead, it focuses on compassion, family unity, and positive reinforcement. The Jays emphasize that addiction affects the entire family, not just the individual. Their method encourages families to form supportive recovery teams that foster an environment of love and understanding.
This episode also delves into the role of step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous and Al-Anon in their recovery journeys, highlighting how these communities can provide invaluable support and guidance. Jeff and Debra's insights offer a refreshing perspective on how to approach addiction with empathy and positivity, making this episode a must-listen for anyone affected by addiction.
