I finally came to believe that there's a power greater than myself that could restore me to sanity and help me never drink or drug again. It's just right, in line with what you're talking about, that the steps are a practical application of the atonement of Jesus Christ, that grace that truly can do for us what we can't do for ourselves.
Imagine reuniting three years after a life-changing treatment, not just with a recovering addict but with the whole family and the clinician who helped them through. In this heartwarming episode of the Family Addiction Recovery Podcast, hosts Christine and Rick Dixon bring together Kael, LCSW, and the Nielson family—Sam, Heidi, and Chris—to share their compelling story. Sam’s battle with addiction didn’t just lead to his own recovery; it became a turning point for his parents as well.
They found their own paths to healing, breaking free from the chains of codependency that often go unnoticed. Now, Heidi and Chris are giving back by facilitating a family education group at Renaissance Ranch, helping other families navigate their own recovery journeys. This episode dives deep into how codependency can fuel the cycle of addiction and highlights the transformative power of 12-step programs and spiritual faith.
The Nielson family’s experience serves as a beacon of hope, showing that recovery is not just possible but can also bring families closer together. Tune in to hear their journey and find inspiration for your own path to healing.
