It is progressive, but that it can be addressed.
What if the key to overcoming addiction lies not just with the individual, but with their entire family? In this thought-provoking episode of Friends In Recovery, hosts Mike Miles and Ed Chionchio Sr sit down with Mike Wilson, the founder of Baystate Recovery Services, to explore this very idea. Wilson, who has dedicated his career to supporting families through the addiction recovery process, brings a wealth of knowledge and personal experience to the table.
He shares the story behind his Renewed Hope Project, a program designed to engage families in the recovery journey, and discusses why addiction should be seen as a family disease. The conversation also touches on the critical role of interventions and the fine line between supporting a loved one and enabling their addiction. Wilson’s insights are further enriched by his book, Loving Lions, which serves as a practical guide for families navigating these turbulent waters.
Throughout the episode, listeners are offered practical advice and heartfelt encouragement, making it clear that families can be powerful allies in the fight against addiction. Whether you’re looking for ways to support a loved one or seeking guidance on your own recovery journey, this episode is packed with valuable takeaways.
