Addiction and the Family

Addiction and the Family is a podcast by and for family members of anyone with an addiction. We are working to bring experience, strength, and realistic hope so that you and your family can find recovery together. We do this through interviews with family members, people in recovery, and professionals who work with addiction every day. We also bring you research-backed information and practical ideas born of real-life experience. We are currently publishing on a monthly basis, with new episodes released near the end of each month. We are excited to present Casey's book "Realistic Hope: The Family Survial Guide for Facing Alcoholism and Other Addictions" (https://www.amazon.com/Realistic-Hope-P-Casey-Arrillaga/dp/1737981505/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=realistic+hope&qid=1637811980&sr=8-1) Help us carry the message by supporting Addiction and the Family on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/bePatron?u=31010526 Thank you for listening!
