  • When Your Child Has Addiction: A Mother's Guide to Setting Boundaries Without Losing Connection with Pam Lanhart - Episode 96

    When Your Child Has Addiction: A Mother's Guide to Setting Boundaries Without Losing Connection with Pam Lanhart - Episode 96
    May 7 2025
    Guest’s Info Pam Lanhart is a mother of four, grandmother of eight, author of "Praying Our Loved One Home," and founder of Thrive Recovery Resources. After experiencing the emotional rollercoaster of loving a family member with substance use disorder and struggling to find trustworthy treatment centers and evidence-based resources, Pam turned her pain into purpose by founding Thrive in 2016. Having grown up in a home where both parents struggled with alcohol use disorder, Pam brings a unique perspective as both a child affected by addiction and a parent who navigated her son's substance use journey. Thrive recognizes that families are critical components to recovery, providing support and proven strategies to empower real change that moves both the loved one and the family toward wellness. Highlights The boundary secret that actually STRENGTHENS your relationship with your addicted child (when everyone else is telling you to "detach with love") The hidden childhood wounds driving your seemingly "rational" responses to your loved one's addiction (and why understanding this changes everything) The gut-wrenching "make it stop" behaviors most parents don't even realize they're doing – that silently feed the addiction cycle instead of breaking it The Irish wisdom that cuts through all the noise and finally explains what your loved one is REALLY seeking when they use The life-altering question that stopped Pam in her tracks: "You say you'd die for your kids, but will you LIVE for them?" (and why your answer matters more than you know) The "last text" principle that will forever change how you communicate with your struggling loved one (Pam shares the final message she sent her son before losing him) The doorway-opening phrases your loved one is already saying that you're missing – that could lead to real change if you knew how to respond Why treating an addict with dignity – especially when they're actively using – might be the most powerful gift you haven't given (yet) The compassion approach that replaces outdated "tough love" tactics (and actually works to rebuild what addiction has torn apart) The uncomfortable truth about why some recover and others don't (and the only guarantee you CAN count on regardless of outcome) Listen as Pam vulnerably shares how she navigated her son Jake's addiction journey – from his pills in a backpack at 13 to the grief of ultimately losing him too soon, yet finding meaning and purpose through it all. This conversation isn't just about addiction – it's about reclaiming your life while still fighting for theirs.

  • ‘It's Over': The Three Words That Saved This Young Man From A $500- A-Day Opioid Habit with Aidan Morgan - Episode 95

    ‘It's Over': The Three Words That Saved This Young Man From A $500- A-Day Opioid Habit with Aidan Morgan - Episode 95
    Apr 30 2025

    In this powerful episode of The Why Intervention Podcast, host Christopher Doyle sits down with Aidan Morgan, who shares his harrowing journey from childhood experimentation to full-blown addiction and ultimately to recovery.

    Guest’s Info
    Aidan Morgan is a remarkable example of transformation and resilience. After battling addiction from age 12, Aidan has now maintained sobriety for six years, completely rebuilding his life in the process. A native New Yorker with deep roots in his community, Aidan's journey from addiction to recovery showcases the power of human connection and the possibility of change even in the darkest circumstances. Now 28, Aidan has transformed from someone who couldn't be relied upon to the family member everyone calls first when they need help. His story provides both hope and practical insights for families struggling with a loved one's addiction. With honesty, humility, and occasional humor, Aidan shares his personal experiences not as an expert but as someone who's lived through the struggle and found his way to the other side. His story stands as powerful evidence that recovery is possible and that intervention can save lives.

    Highlights

    • Why the "wait until they hit bottom" approach is DANGEROUS and potentially DEADLY in today's world where "you could hit a casket before you hit bottom"
    • The SHOCKING truth about what happened when Aidan nearly died in a car accident while high - and why it STILL wasn't enough to make him stop
    • The DEVASTATING "9-HOUR DECISION" phenomenon that explains why addicts can't stop using even when they desperately want to and have days of abstinence
    • Why your addicted loved one already has ENOUGH PAIN to change - they just need the right connection and opportunity NOW
    • How Aidan's father's surprising SILENCE became the catalyst that finally broke through when nothing else would
    • The COUNTERINTUITIVE reason why taking away a teen's activities as punishment for substance use actually ACCELERATES their addiction
    • The BIZARRE encounter with "Franklin" that kept Aidan from walking out of detox over a veggie burger
    • Why an addict telling you "I promise I'll stop" and ACTUALLY MEANING IT still isn't enough to overcome addiction
    • The EMOTIONAL MOMENT when a father's three simple words - "It's over" - finally gave his son permission to surrender
    • The PROFOUND TRUTH that most recovered addicts didn't seek help on their own - and what this means for your intervention strategy
    • How Aidan went from being "the last person anyone would call" to handle a problem to becoming the family's MOST RELIABLE member

    If you're struggling with a loved one's addiction, this episode provides both the inspiration and practical framework for taking action before it's too late.

  • When to Call That Sober Friend: Why Families Shouldn't Wait for Rock Bottom with Joe Courtney - Episode 94

    When to Call That Sober Friend: Why Families Shouldn't Wait for Rock Bottom with Joe Courtney - Episode 94
    Apr 23 2025

    In this powerful episode, recovery veterans Christopher Doyle and Joe Courtney (with 48 combined years of sobriety) dismantle the dangerous myth that you can't help someone until they "want it" or "hit bottom."

    Guest’s Info
    Joe Courtney is many people's first phone call when they need help with an addicted loved one. Joe is married 24 years, has 4 beautiful children, and 30 years sober.

    Highlights

    • The truth behind "they have to want it" that the conventional wisdom gets totally backward
    • Why your loved one's first meeting rarely happens because they chose it (and what actually gets them there)
    • The surprisingly simple sentence that's gotten hundreds of resistant addicts to agree to help
    • Why the person who got you sober might be the one person you never thank
    • The heartbreaking story of waiting "until they're ready" that ended in a funeral just days before this recording
    • The counterintuitive leverage point that turns "I don't have a problem" into "I'll go to one meeting"
    • Why the most resistant addicts who fought all the way to rehab are often the most grateful afterward
    • The shockingly simple 10-word question that can be your loved one's turning point

    Joe and Chris reveal their personal journeys, relapse stories, and the practical tactics they've used to help countless others find recovery - even when those people initially wanted nothing to do with getting help.

    This isn't just theory - it's battle-tested wisdom from two men who've been on both sides: the resistant addict and the person making that vital first call.
