We are on a mission to arm every family with skills to overcome a loved one’s addiction, without compromising relationships and connection.

We want to tell you how we got here, not because our stories are unique, but because our stories of loving someone struggling with addiction are so painfully common, they most likely resemble yours.

When we experienced addiction through our closest relationships we sought answers - anonymously in 12-step groups, through costly interventions, talk therapy. These approaches left us, the ones who cared and were motivated to help, sitting on the sidelines feeling misunderstood, judged for caring about this person, questioning whether our problem was that we were enabling and codependent, essentially powerless and with nowhere else to turn to.

The prevailing “answer”... that we should detach and disconnect just didn’t sit right with us.
Surely there was something that we could do to help our loved one, surely…

Thank goodness we didn’t give up.

Because eventually…like you…we found a compassionate and clinically proven approach that leveraged the power of our relationship with someone struggling with substance use. One that empowered us with frameworks and principles, that guided us to words and actions that could increase our connection and help us influence positive changes and recovery for our loved one.

This approach leveraged our motivation and potential to help.

And the more we saw this approach work for us and our families, and the more we learned just how many of us out there are loving someone through addiction (research indicates it is almost half of Americans!) the more we knew we had a key role to play in changing the way the world recovers, for the better.

And that’s what we’re doing. Meticulously, since our inception in 2017. Year-by-year, day-by-day, step-by-step.
