As hosts, Matt and Sam, we take you into the heart of family interventions and the gritty journey towards addiction recovery. Ever wondered how the relentless grip of addiction affects not just the individual but the entire family? We draw from personal experiences, shedding light on interventions where pride and ego serve as stumbling blocks on the road to recovery.

In an honest discussion, we explore the complexities of pride, control, and the illusion of handling it all when in the throes of addiction. We share moments from our own lives when our self-worth stood at odds with the humility needed to accept help. With a candid look back at our past careers in the tough industry of logging, we discuss the pressure to succeed and the toll it can take on an individual and their family.

Wrapping it up, we share insights on the challenges faced during interventions and the paramount role honesty plays in recovery. As we reveal, it's easy to lose sight of the issue amidst the noise created by active alcoholics and addicts. But here's the catch - sometimes, letting go of control proves to be the most effective approach in dealing with addiction. Listen in as we learn together that in this challenging journey of recovery, your story might just find echoes in ours.
