Share with Someone Who Loves You

In this special episode of Circle of Chairs, I'm sharing key points from my new book, When You Love Someone in Recovery, and I created this one specifically for you to pass along to someone who loves you. Whether you're in recovery yourself or you're the family member or friend walking alongside someone who is, this episode is designed to help bridge that gap of understanding. I talk about why families matter more than we've been told, how to rethink some of the old ideas that have left loved ones feeling guilty or helpless, and why there's so much more reason for hope than you might think — even when the journey doesn't look the way you expected.
